We are able to accept patients requiring ventilator care, those with major trauma and patients with disorders of consciousness because of the multidisciplinary specialty support available at Riley Children’s. Our average admission rating (50.0) compared to similar facilities (52.3) and nationally (53.3) (used to calculate the WeeFIM rating) demonstrates the level of medical complexity of our patients. Although our team cares for the most impaired patients, Riley Children’s has similar discharge scores as programs caring for less medically complex patients.
