Overview

Prospective analysis highlights a decline in discharge options for chronically ill patients in IM, suggesting significant impacts from reduced rehabilitation access.

Key Points

  • Discharge rates to residential facilities declined from 11.8% pre-2020 to 6.4% post-2020, indicating reduced options.
  • Chronically ill patients faced longer hospital stays, with averages rising from 10.7 days to 11.3 days post-2020.
  • The study recorded 6932 admissions, noting a notable 9.4% in-hospital mortality among patients.
  • The lack of alternative care options has significantly contributed to prolonged hospital stays for these patients.
