The AROC Annual Report: the state of rehabilitation in Australia 2005

Abstract

This is the inaugural comprehensive annual report that describes patients discharged from subacute inpatient rehabilitation programs provided by facilities that are members of the Australasian Rehabilitation Outcomes Centre (AROC). Collection of a standardised dataset has enabled the provision of a national benchmarking system, which in turn has led to an improved understanding of factors that influence rehabilitation outcomes and costs, and therefore performance of the sector.
