| Median Function* Admit/Discharge | 62/83 | 62/83 | 62/83 |
| Function Gain | 21 | 21 | 21 |
| Percentage Discharge to Community | 77% | 75% | 78% |

In summary Riverside Rehabilitation Institute (RRI) patients, overall are slightly older, are admitted to rehab sooner, and are discharged back to the community at a similar rate than the Regional and National compari-son. RRI patients have comparable functional gains and are rehabilitated at a much lower charge.
