Health care facilities: rehabilitation innovation centers.

Existing law provides for the licensure and regulation of specialty clinics, including rehabilitation clinics. Existing law defines a "rehabilitation clinic" as a clinic that, in addition to providing medical services directly, also provides physical rehabilitation services for patients who remain less than 24 hours. Existing law requires a rehabilitation clinic to provide at least 2 of certain specified rehabilitation services, including, among others, physical therapy and occupational therapy. This bill would define a "rehabilitation innovation center" as a not-for-profit or government-owned rehabilitation facility that meets specified criteria.
