Abstract
This paper analyzed the results of the American Hospital Association's (AHA) 1981 survey of inpatient medical rehabilitation hospitals and units, which obtained information for 1980, and notes important differences from the patterns revealed by the survey when it was first conducted in 1979. The survey sample consisted of 554 hospitals, 334 of which responded to the questionnaire. Three categories of these hospitals (independent rehabilitation hospitals, self-contained rehabilitation hospitals within larger medical centers, and defined rehabilitation units of institutions) are examined in terms of utilization, referral sources of their admissions, places to which their patients were discharged, composition of their full-time equivalent professional medical staff, and sources of payment for inpatient claims.
