If we ever get to this model then medical providers would have an incredible incentive to find out what rehab works the fastest and best. Or you could look at the negative side and just use the Barthel Index once you have maxed out on that, stop therapy.

This would only work for patients if the outcome is as close to recovery as possible rather than the el-cheapo method of just getting to ADLs
For keeping populations healthy, and for doing the care that is shown to be most effective.
