Springhill Medical Center’s Inpatient Rehab Center received top honors as Alabama’s #1 hospital-based rehab center and the #2 facility in Alabama overall. . Physical rehabilitation centers provide around-the-clock care for people suffering from complex illnesses and injuries.
The Newsweek annual ranking of America’s Best Physical Rehabilitation Centers is the result of an elaborate process which reflects the last 12 months only and awards only the top 300 facilities in the country. The rankings are based on four pillars: quality metrics, a national online survey, Accreditation, and Google reviews.
“This is a repeat honor for our Inpatient Rehab Unit, and we could not be happier for our hardworking team,” said President/CEO Mr. Jeff St. Clair. “Our Inpatient Rehab professionals do an incredible job ensuring patients reach their goals before they go home which leads to improved quality of life for them.”
The quality metrics (50% of the score) that are considered for these rankings come from data published by the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).
The National online surveys (35%) are conducted by Statista in cooperation with Newsweek targeting experts with knowledge of physical rehabilitation centers (i.e., physicians, physiotherapists, doctors, clinic managers, and other healthcare professionals), including an assessment of the quality of care, quality of service, quality of follow-up care, accommodation, and amenities.
The third pillar of Accreditation (5%) utilized data from the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) and the Model Systems Knowledge Translation Center (MSKTC).
Lastly, Google reviews (5%) were looked at as a proxy for patient satisfaction.
While staying at inpatient rehabilitation centers, patients receive hands-on treatment from multidisciplinary teams — typically including physical and occupational therapists — that work to reduce patients' symptoms and equip them for life after discharge. There are more than 1,100 of these facilities in the United States.
