Part of Short and Long Term (SALT) data sources for the Adult Social Care Outcomes Framework (ASCOF) 2023-24
ASCOF Measure 2D (formally 2B) – Proportion of older people (65 and over) who were still at home 91 days after discharge from hospital into reablement/rehabilitation services

This should only include the outcome for those cases referred to in the denominator (figure 16)
