title: Functional status measurement and medical rehabilitation outcomes.
abstract: An on-stream method for describing patients' functional abilities is used to develop analyses of medical rehabilitation outcomes. Outcomes are the changes in status between admission, discharge and follow-up. Standardized observation and reporting make it possible to compare one date with another, one case with another or one agency or facility with another to determine program characteristics,  effectiveness and efficiency.
