HealthSouth Rehabilitation Hospital of Altamonte Springs has received top recognition from Uniform Data System for Medical Rehabilitation (UDSMR®). The hospital, which opened to patients in November 2014, ranked in the top ten percent of qualifying rehabilitation hospitals for 2015.
UDSMR® is a non-profit group that evaluates rehabilitation hospitals on their delivery of quality care that is effective, efficient, timely and patient-centered. To determine the rankings, UDSMR® uses a system that measures the efficiency and effectiveness of a hospital’s rehabilitation programs. The system evaluates and tracks a patient’s progress through the rehabilitation process to document gains. This is the tenth year that UDSMR® has issued the awards.
In 2015, HealthSouth Altamonte Springs is pleased to report that:
- The average length of patient stay was 14 days.
- 81 percent of HealthSouth Altamonte Springs patients were able to go home at discharge.
“Our staff works hard to achieve great results, and I applaud them for their unwavering commitment to quality patient care,” said Jill Jordan, chief executive officer of HealthSouth Altamonte Springs. “Patients have a choice and we welcome them to explore the specialized, state-of-the-art rehabilitation services that our hospital has to offer.”
The data used for this report was based on 12 months of 2015 data, drawn from both Medicare and non-Medicare patients. The results were weighted and combined into a single composite score, and each hospital was assigned a percentile rank from zero to 100 relative to the 782 qualifying subscribers in the UDSMR® database.
