C/O Index Journal
Greenwood Regional Rehabilitation Hospital, a 46-bed acute inpatient rehabilitation hospital, ranked in the top 10 percent of 813 inpatient rehabilitation facilities that qualified to be ranked in the IRF database of Uniform Data System for Medical Rehabilitation in 2008.
“Top 10 percent in the nation is an accomplishment that we are very proud to have achieved,” said Tim Kagle, chief executive officer. “Our team of healthcare professionals has been extremely focused on providing a wonderful patient experience, while maximizing our patients’ functional outcomes. The real beneficiaries of this accomplishment are the greater than 900 patients that received care at our hospital last year. The singular patient focus of our employees and physicians has resulted in this wonderful recognition by UDSMR.”
This is the third year that UDSMR has issued these awards and the first year that Greenwood Regional Rehabilitation Hospital was eligible to participate.
“As medical director, I am very proud of this accomplishment. I am pleased that the Greenwood community has access to the highest quality rehabilitative care right here in our own backyard,” said Dr. Clifford Monda, medical director for Greenwood Regional Rehabilitation Hospital.
The PEM Report Card was developed as part of a proactive solution to the Institute of Medicine’s 2006 recommendation to Congress that every Medicare provider be reimbursed on a pay-for-performance basis. The data used for this report was based on 12 months of 2008 data, drawn from both Medicare and non-Medicare patients.
