who has experienced a change in functional status and who does not require continuous cardiac monitoring or mechanical ventilation.

Team Approach
Rehabilitative treatment emphasizes a team approach. The inpatient treatment team typically includes a rehabilitation physician
(a physiatrist), an internal medicine physician, rehabilitation nurse, pharmacist, physical therapist, occupational therapist,
speech therapist, psychologist and case manager. The team might also include a registered dietitian and a recreational therapist.
