A growth opportunity. Catholic hospitals can improve their mission and margin by developing rehabilitation services.

Developing rehabilitation services should be an attractive diversification strategy for Catholic hospitals during the 1990s. Although the number of inpatient rehabilitation providers more than doubled during the 1980s, many markets remain underserved. Rehabilitation units can enable facilities to generate revenues and, at the same time, better serve the community. A number of other factors make creating rehabilitation programs a sound venture: Hospitals can choose from among a variety of product lines when deciding which services to include; reimbursement mechanisms are at present favorable to rehabilitation; businesses are making increasing use of these services; the segment of the population that most often requires rehabilitation services is growing; and many acute care hospitals have a ready-made source of rehabilitation referrals in their occupied beds. For Catholic healthcare facilities now offer teritary or subspecialty programs and have developed sophisticated ancillary services, they are well placed to add rehabilitation programs.

But what ultimately sank the system was a rift among Adventist regional group presidents, hospital executives and church leaders over authority and control.
