As I said we have seen that our rate of transfer from our ICU to inpatient
rehab is 6%. I"m interested to learn if this is high, low or OK. At our
institution anyone who can survive on the ward probably doesn't need rehab
and we don't have a step down unit. For my purposes I think transfer from a
step down unit would still count.

Thanks for your help
