"As the emphasis on inpatient
care decreases, accompanied with a shortening of patients' length
of stay, a TR department could be threatened by possible staff
reductions due to less demand for inpatient intervention, and
a decreased ability to meet TR treatment goals during the inpatient
stay. Outpatient services do not involve a per diem room rate,
so unless the TR department charges on an ancillary basis for
outpatient services or perhaps the facility can absorb the cost
of providing services without producing charges, it is foreseeable
that Therapeutic recreation will not be involved with the provision
of outpatient services." (Malkin, Third Party Reimbursement
for Outpatient Therapeutic Recreation Services, Annual in
Therapeutic Recreation 3, 1992).
