Includes the following items: Transfer Bed/Chair/Wheelchair, Transfer Toilet, Locomotion and Stairs. Average is calculated as: (sum of change at the patient level/total number of patients). Patient less than 18 years of age at admission to the facility or patients who died within the facility are excluded.
Denominator
Facility adjusted expected change in rasch derived mobility values, adjusted at the Case Mix Group (CMG) level.
Exclusions

Cases who died during rehabilitation are not typical patients and are routinely omitted from reports and published research on rehabilitation outcomes.
