title: National guidelines for rehabilitation staffing levels: a literature review.
abstract: Canadian rehabilitation staffing guidelines do not exist; consequently, significant service-level differences are found. This article reviews methods of determining rehabilitation staffing and presents factors to consider in developing staffing guidelines. Skill mix, service intensity, patient diagnosis and cost of care should drive staffing benchmarks.
