## Digital Scalar

**Band**: hybrid
**Digital**: 0.5
**Rationale**: With no seeded child components, the scalar is derived from the company type description. The core value delivery of an Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility (IRF) requires physical, hands-on clinical care provided by Physical Therapists, Occupational Therapists, and Rehabilitation Nurses. However, the facility also runs on digital-heavy administrative departments like Revenue Cycle Management, Health Information Management, and PPS/IRF-PAI Coordination, placing its overall work profile squarely in the hybrid band.
