Defining Attributes
Definition
The proportion of tertiary hospitals in the country that have three or more rehabilitation professions working in them. The professions include the seven listed in the rehabilitation personnel indicator (core indicator 2). Countries can use their own definitions of "tertiary hospital", but such hospitals are generally understood to provide highly specialised care and may have teaching facilities. They typically range from 300–1500 beds and are often referred to as national, central or teaching hospitals. This measure is used as tracer criteria for availability of rehabilitation services
