Defining Attributes
Definition
The proportion of secondary hospitals that have two or more rehabilitation professions working in them. Rehabilitation professions include the seven listed in the rehabilitation personnel indicator (core indicator 2). The country's own definition of secondary hospital can be used, but such hospitals generally refer to those with 5 to 10 clinical specialties and whose size ranges between 200 and 800 beds; they are often referred to as a provincial, general or regional hospital. This measure is used as tracer criteria for availability of rehabilitation services.
