Swedish Hospital’s Rehabilitation Center has been recognized as one of America’s Best Physical Rehabilitation Centers. This prestigious award is presented by Newsweek and Statista Inc., the world-leading statistics portal and industry ranking provider. The America’s Best Physical Rehabilitation Centers 2021 list highlights the nation’s top inpatient rehabilitation facilities based on quality of care, quality of service, quality of follow-up care and accommodation and amenities.
Facilities in the 25 states with the highest number of inpatient rehabilitation facilities – according to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) – were part of this study. The rankings feature the top 230 centers nationwide. The evaluation process was comprised of these key steps:
- Recommendations from peers: Thousands of medical experts (physicians, therapists, medical doctors, administration & staff working in physical rehabilitation facilities) were invited to an online peer-to-peer survey.
- Quality Score: Participants were also asked to rank the quality of care, quality of service, quality of follow-up care and accommodations & amenities.
- KPI Data Scores: The U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) publishes KPI data for physical rehabilitation centers. The KPI data includes 15 different measures.
- The Model Systems and CARF Accreditations: Facilities with these accreditations received a bonus to their overall score.
Swedish Hospital’s Rehabilitation Center is honored to be recognized on Newsweek’s list of America’s Best Physical Rehab Centers 2021. “We are pleased to earn this recognition for the excellent care provided at our Rehabilitation Center,” said Anthony Guaccio, President and CEO of Swedish Hospital. “This designation can be an important resource to help patients select a nationally recognized, high quality program for their rehabilitation needs.”
The Rehabilitation Center is currently undergoing an extensive renovation to further improve patient experience.
