Inpatient Acute Rehab CDI??

in CDI Talk Archive
Anyone know of someone performing CDI role in the inpatient rehab setting?
I am aware of LTAC CDI programs, but had not previously heard of anyone trying CDI in the acute inpatient rehab setting.

Thanks,
Don

    Laurie,

    From the lack of responses to the original question, it seems this is a rare area for CDI to work in.
    Good luck with your efforts and let us know how it goes!

    I think the reimbursement for acute rehab is quite different from acute
    care. We have an acute rehab unit but we do not review there.
