SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

Congress makes the following findings:
(1) In the United States, there are an estimated 1,181
inpatient rehabilitation facilities. Among these facilities is
a small group of inpatient rehabilitation institutions that are
contributing to the future of rehabilitation care medicine, as
well as to patient recovery, scientific innovation, and quality
of life.
(2) This unique category of inpatient rehabilitation
institutions treats the most complex patient conditions, such
as traumatic brain injury, stroke, spinal cord injury,
childhood disease, burns, and wartime injuries.
(3) These leading inpatient rehabilitation institutions are
all not-for-profit or Government-owned institutions and serve a
high volume of Medicare or Medicaid beneficiaries.
(4) These leading inpatient rehabilitation institutions
have been recognized by the Federal Government for their
contributions to cutting-edge research to develop solutions
that enhance quality of care, improve patient outcomes, and
reduce health care costs.
(5) These leading inpatient rehabilitation institutions
help to improve the practice and standard of rehabilitation
medicine across the Nation in urban, suburban, and rural
communities by training physicians, medical students, and other
clinicians, and providing care to patients from all 50 States.
(6) It is vital that these leading inpatient rehabilitation
institutions are supported so they can continue to lead the
Nation's efforts to--
(A) advance integrated, multidisciplinary
rehabilitation research;
(B) provide cutting-edge medical care to the most
complex rehabilitation patients;
(C) serve as education and training facilities for
the physicians, nurses, and other health professionals
who serve rehabilitation patients;
(D) ensure Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries
receive state-of-the-art, high-quality rehabilitation
care by developing and disseminating best practices and
advancing the quality of care utilized by post-acute
providers in all 50 States; and
(E) support other inpatient rehabilitation
institutions in rural areas to help ensure access to
quality post-acute care for patients living in these
communities.
