Thousands of former patients and their family members in Northern Arizona will not be surprised to hear that once again MVRRH has been named among the Top 10 percent in the nation for the care they provide to patients with strokes, brain injuries, orthopedic injuries and more. This is the ninth consecutive year the hospital has earned the honor, which recognizes provision of care that is patient-centered, efficient, timely and effective.
The hospital was ranked out of 782 inpatient rehabilitation facilities nationwide by the Uniform Data System for Medical Rehabilitation (UDSMR), a not-for-profit corporation that was developed with support from the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research, a component of the U.S Department of Education. With more than 20 years of experience and data, the UDSMR is the creator and caretaker of the nation’s largest database of rehabilitation outcomes. This is the 10th year that UDSMR has issued these awards.
The data used for the most current ranking were based on 12 months of information from 2015 from both Medicare and non-Medicare patients. The results were combined and weighted into a score, and each facility was then assigned a percentile rank from 0 to 100 relative to other qualifying inpatient rehabilitation facilities in UDSMR’s database.
“We’re proud to bring nationally recognized rehabilitative care to our community for the ninth consecutive year,” said Judy Baum, CEO of MVRRH. “We’re serious about our commitment to our patients, their family members and our community – and this recognition reflects that. We’re passionate about getting the best results for our patients so they can attain the highest level of productivity and independence possible.”
Through UDSMR, Baum says the hospital also is given the opportunity to collaborate with peers to share information. “This allows us to establish best practices and help elevate rehabilitative care for everyone throughout the United States,” she said.
MVRRH provides specialized rehabilitative services to patients throughout the Northern Arizona area who are recovering from disabilities caused by injuries, illnesses, or chronic medical conditions. This includes strokes, brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and orthopedic injures, along with illnesses such as cerebral palsy, ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease), multiple sclerosis or Parkinson’s disease.
