Overview
HealthSouth is one of the nation's largest healthcare services providers with facilities nationwide. Our vast network of highly skilled physicians and clinicians working with the latest equipment and technology guarantees that all patients have easy access to high quality healthcare.
At HealthSouth inpatient rehabilitation hospitals, we provide the level of care necessary to manage a patient's care after an injury or illness and enhance their quality of life upon discharge from a traditional acute care setting. Our dedicated team of physicians, nurses, therapists and hospital support staff is committed to providing safe, quality and cost-effective care to each and every patient.
HealthSouth’s outpatient rehabilitation satellites are an extension of the care provided by our inpatient rehabilitation hospitals, designed to return patients to their maximum ability and independence as quickly and safely as possible.
HealthSouth's long-term acute care hospitals (LTCH) specialize in managing the complex medical care and rehabilitation of patients with multiple acute healthcare needs. Programs are designed to medically stabilize and strengthen patients so they can return to their highest level of function.
HealthSouth's home health programs provide skilled nursing and therapeutic services, such as physical, occupational or speech therapy, medical social services in the comfort of a patient’s home as they are able to help them resume their activities of daily living as safely as possible.
The field of rehabilitation is benefiting from a surge of new technology designed to enhance a patient's quality of life and promote a quicker recovery. HealthSouth aims to be on the forefront of providing the most advanced rehabilitation technology to its patients. These new modalities, when combined with traditional therapy, can greatly improve a patient's quality of life.
Quality - Our Top Priority
HealthSouth's inpatient facilities provide the medical, nursing, therapy and ancillary services required to comply with local, state and federal regulations, as well as accreditation standards of the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) and, for some facilities, the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF).
Led by HealthSouth Chief Medical Officer Dexanne Clohan, M.D., HealthSouth has a National Physician Advisory Board appointed to govern our nationwide network of facilities to ensure continued clinical and operational excellence.
Patient Satisfaction
For more than a decade, HealthSouth has enlisted NRC+Picker, one of the nation's leading healthcare research firms, to continually measure our patients' experiences. HealthSouth hospitals consistently score above the national average in two very important categories: "Would You Recommend" and "Overall Quality of Care."
Outcomes Measurement
HealthSouth utilizes the Uniform Data System for Medical Rehabilitation (UDSmr), the rehabilitation industry's most widely recognized outcomes measurement tool, to monitor overall patient outcomes. This system measures the effectiveness of our hospitals' rehabilitation programs by evaluating and tracking a patient's functional status upon admission, discharge and post-discharge to document the level of disability and to assess the effectiveness of rehabilitation. UDS also allows HealthSouth to benchmark its rehabilitation hospitals against regional and national performance data.
