Context that affects how to read this rating

Chi St Vincent Hs Rehab Hospital, a Part of Encompass is an Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility (IRF) — a specialized post-acute facility focused on patient functional recovery after stroke, brain or spinal cord injury, joint replacement, amputation, or other major medical events. IRFs do not receive a CMS Overall Hospital Star Rating because they are evaluated under the separate IRF Quality Reporting Program (IRF QRP). Headline IRF outcomes include the percentage of patients discharged home (vs. nursing facility), risk-adjusted functional improvement, preventable readmissions during and after the stay, and hospital-acquired infection rates.

Rehabilitation Quality Measures (IRF QRP)

Chi St Vincent Hs Rehab Hospital, a Part of Encompass is evaluated under the CMS Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility Quality Reporting Program. The most consequential outcomes for rehabilitation patients are whether they return home (vs. a nursing facility) and how much functional independence they regain. Values are compared to the national median across all reporting IRFs.

Discharge to Community 68.8%
National median: 67.6% n = 1,308 Near national median

Risk-standardized % of stays that ended at home (vs. skilled nursing, hospice, or another inpatient setting). Higher is better — it means more patients regained the independence to live at home.

Discharge Function Score 0.80
National median: 0.64 n = 14 Better than national median

Risk-adjusted Section GG (self-care + mobility) score at discharge. Higher is better — it reflects more functional independence gained during the IRF stay.

Preventable Readmissions Within Stay 7.57%
National median: 4.69% n = 109 Worse than national median

Risk-standardized % of IRF stays that transferred back to acute care for a preventable reason during the stay. Lower is better.

Preventable Readmissions Post-Discharge (30 days) 10.46%
National median: 9.16% n = 138 Worse than national median

Risk-standardized % of IRF stays followed by a preventable readmission to acute care within 30 days. Lower is better.

Pressure Ulcer / Skin Integrity 63.6%
National median: 81.1% n = 189 Worse than national median

% of patients with no new or worsened pressure ulcers during the stay. Higher is better.

Functional Assessment + Care Plan 76.2%
National median: 56.5% n = 799 Better than national median

% of patients with both an admission and discharge functional assessment and a care plan addressing function. Higher is better.

Drug Regimen Review With Follow-up 83.2%
National median: 60.0% n = 873 Better than national median

% of patients whose drug regimen was reviewed and follow-up actions taken when issues were identified. Higher is better.

CAUTI (Urinary Tract) Infection Ratio 0.64
National median: 0.80 95% CI: 0.03–3.14 Better than national median

Standardized Infection Ratio for catheter-associated UTIs — observed ÷ predicted. SIR < 1.0 is better than expected; > 1.0 is worse.

C. diff Infection Ratio 0.00
National median: 0.17 Better than national median

Standardized Infection Ratio for C. difficile — observed ÷ predicted. SIR < 1.0 is better than expected.

Patient Flu Vaccination 79.9%
National median: 61.9% n = 838 Better than national median

% of patients given an influenza vaccination during the IRF stay. Higher is better.

Medicare Spending Per Beneficiary 1.05
National median: 0.99 Worse than national median

Ratio of this IRF's Medicare spending per beneficiary to the national average. 1.00 = matches national average. Lower = more efficient.

About this data

Quality and ratings data are sourced from the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Hospital Compare program. Star ratings are CMS's own calculation; CareRanks does not modify or re-weight them. Facility-level details (address, beds, ownership, teaching status) come from CMS provider files and the CMS Provider of Services file.

Pricing data, where shown, is drawn from the hospital's own Machine-Readable File (MRF) published under the federal Hospital Price Transparency Rule. See our methodology for the full update cadence and limitations.
