摘要: OBJECTIVE:To describe hospital length of stay (LOS), discharge disposition, and reimbursement by clinical group for children admitted to pediatric post-acute rehabilitation. METHODS: Demographic financial information all admissions (n = 382) calendar years 2010 2011 were combined. Clinical groups (Active Rehabilitation, Medically Complex, Ventilator Dependent, Neonates) delineated compared LOS, per diem admission reimbursement, as well age, gender, number, payer using descriptives, chi-square, or analysis variance. also examined and/or number. RESULTS: differed LOS (p 0.008), disposition (p< 0.001), age ( p< number 0.001). Although was not statistically significant between groups, total highest the due a significantly longer (mean 57.78 days, SD 56.33, p 0.008). nor different if public private. Children more likely discharged home from first (r 0.321, 0.001) than subsequent admission, private payers had greater mean daily rate. CONCLUSION: Hospital vary in
