Grandview Medical Center’s Inpatient Rehab Unit Ranks in Top 10 Percent of Inpatient Rehab Facilities in the United States
Birmingham, AL (April 24, 2017) --- Grandview Medical Center’s Inpatient Rehab Unit, known as Easy Street, has been recognized as one of the top 10 percent of inpatient rehabilitation facilities (IRFs) in the United States. Easy Street is one of 781 units that qualified to be ranked in the IRF database of Uniform Data System for Medical Rehabilitation (UDSMR) in 2016.
The goal of the ranking is to recognize high-performing facilities for their delivery of quality patient care that is effective, efficient, timely, and patient-centered. Grandview received a 94 percent composite score.
“This ranking is the result of a true team effort on our Easy Street Unit. The caring professionals guide each patient through every step of their treatment process to help them successfully achieve their rehabilitation goals. The patient becomes part of the team that is focused on their return to the community and improving their quality of life,” said Keith Granger, President and CEO of Grandview Medical Center.
Easy Street is 17-bed unit located on the 10th floor of the hospital. Easy Street uses a multidisciplinary approach to provide individualized care to patients needing medical care as well as a more intense regimen of therapy. A team of physicians, nurses, therapists, social worker and dietician provides comprehensive rehab services to restore strength and function so that patients can return to their highest level of independence and back to their community.
“We are pleased to present this award to Easy Street in recognition of the efficient and effective care provided to patients,” said Troy Hillman, Manager of the Analytical Services Group at UDSMR. “As the creator and caretaker of the nation’s largest database of rehabilitation outcomes, and with over 20 years of experience and data, UDSMR continues working with the industry to establish best practices and to improve care in all inpatient rehabilitation facilities.”
This is the eleventh year that UDSMR has issued these awards. The data used for this report was based on 12 months of 2016 data, drawn from both Medicare and non-Medicare patients. Number of patients discharged to the community as well as functional improvements in walking, dressing, grooming, eating and other activities of daily living were collected in the data.
