The Lack Of Rehabilitation Beds Is Impacting Patient Safety And Care

A critical lack of rehabilitation beds confines healed patients in hospitals, straining resources and impacting care access. Despite healed injuries, the absence of rehab facilities prevents discharge, leading to backlog, stalled emergency services, and soaring healthcare expenses. This hampers hospital operations, impairs patient flow, and escalates financial burdens, adversely affecting hospital economics. The bottleneck not only hinders patients’ return to normalcy but also creates a domino effect, compromising care quality and exacerbating economic challenges for hospitals, accumulating substantial monthly losses.
