The program supports recovery and timely discharge from acute or inpatient rehabilitation through targeted rehabilitation for complex patient populations, including post-operative and medically frail individuals.

Who Should Access this Program:
- A referral is required (providers see below)
- Complex Patients who have multiple co-morbidities and a new functional decline; patients who are frail and/or deconditioned; patients with a new neurological condition; those with multiple fractures, and individuals with complex hip and knee arthroplasty, etc.
- Post-Operative Patients who have/had complex and/or multiple fractures; total or reverse total shoulder replacement; ankle replacements, etc.

This is to increase capacity in the hospital outpatient program for more complex cases who do not fit well in the private clinic model. Non-complex hip and knee arthroplasty patients will be given a Health Authority issued voucher to cover private clinic therapy.
Discharge Criteria:
- Functional goals have been attained
- A plateau in function has been reached
