Our average admission rating (48.4) compared to similar facilities (51.2) and nationally (52.1), used to calculate the WeeFIM rating, demonstrates the level of medical complexity of our patients.
The complexity of our patient population contributes to higher LOS and lower LOS efficiency.
Although our team cares for the most impaired patients, Riley Children’s has similar discharge scores to programs caring for less medically complex patients.
