Complications
A healthcare-acquired condition (HAC) is an illness or complication that occurred during a stay in an IRF. Each facility electronically submits data about these conditions to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) using the Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility Patient Assessment Instrument (IRF-PAI).
Effective care
Improving functional abilities is an important goal for IRF patients. Each facility electronically submits data about patients' functional abilities to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) using the Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility Patient Assessment Instrument (IRF-PAI).
Medication management
Medication management measures provide information on facility practices to reduce medication-related errors that may affect quality of life and/or other patient complications. Each facility electronically submits data about medication management facility practices to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) using the Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility Patient Assessment Instrument (IRF-PAI).
Infections
Healthcare-associated infection measures provide information on infections that occur while the patient is in an IRF. Learn more about infection control steps that facilities can take to keep you safe and how you can stay safe in a rehabilitation facility
Prevention
- The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) developed these healthcare worker vaccination measures, IRFs submit their data through the National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN).
Readmissions
Rates of readmission show the percentage of IRF patients who were hospitalized again for a condition that might have been prevented. Readmissions are assessed using 2 measures: readmissions during the patient's stay, and readmissions within 30 days of discharge from the IRF.
Successful return to home or community
Returning to home or community is an important goal for most IRF patients and their families. Discharge to community rates show the rate at which patients returned to home or community from the IRF and remained alive without any unplanned hospitalizations in the 31 days following discharge from the IRF. The data comes from Medicare enrollment and claims data.
Payment & value of care
- The data comes from Medicare enrollment and claims data.
- The result is a ratio calculated by dividing the amount Medicare spent per patient for an episode of care initiated at this IRF by the median (or middle) amount Medicare spent per episode of care nationally.
- A ratio equal to the national average means that Medicare spends ABOUT THE SAME per patient for an episode of care initiated at this IRF as it does per episode of care across all IRFs nationally.
- A ratio that is more than the national average means that Medicare spends MORE per patient for an episode of care initiated at this IRF than it does per episode of care across all IRFs nationally.
- A ratio that is less than the national average means that Medicare spends LESS per patient for an episode of care initiated at this IRF than it does per episode of care across all IRFs nationally.
