Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of a new patient care co-coordinator position in an inpatient rehabilitation setting.

Design: Pre and post test using a 42-item staff survey.

Subjects: Members of the multidisciplinary team.

Intervention: A new patient care co-coordinator position.

Outcome measures: Comparison of trends in staff responses to pre and post test surveys.

Findings: The post test survey demonstrated an overall increase in the reported frequency of desirable rehabilitation practices and increased staff satisfaction with those practices.

Conclusions: A patient care co-coordinator may contribute to improving the processes and practices of inpatient rehabilitation and staff satisfaction.
