Specialists Hospital Shreveport
Shreveport, LA
Intensive Specialty Hospital (Long-Term Acute Care) is a psychiatric facility evaluated under the CMS Inpatient Psychiatric Facility Quality Reporting (IPFQR) program. Headline measures cover restraint and seclusion use, screening for antipsychotic-related metabolic side effects, substance-use and tobacco treatment, care transitions, follow-up after discharge, and readmissions.
HBIPS-2 — hours of physical restraint use per 1,000 patient-hours. Lower is better; restraints carry physical and psychological risks.
HBIPS-3 — hours of seclusion per 1,000 patient-hours. Lower is better; seclusion is used only when no other intervention works.
SMD — % of patients on antipsychotics screened for metabolic side effects (BMI, blood glucose, cholesterol). Antipsychotics raise metabolic-syndrome risk; screening catches it early.
SUB-2 — % of patients with alcohol/drug use referred for treatment during admission.
SUB-3 — % of patients with substance-use disorder offered or referred to treatment at discharge.
TOB-3 — % of patients using tobacco who received counseling and/or medication at discharge.
TR-1 — % of discharges with a completed transition record including medications, follow-up plan, and crisis instructions.
FAPH-7 — % of patients with a follow-up outpatient mental-health visit within 7 days of discharge. Predicts lower readmission risk.
FAPH-30 — % of patients with a follow-up outpatient mental-health visit within 30 days of discharge.
READM-30-IPF — risk-standardized 30-day readmission rate. No Different Than the National Rate
IMM-2 — % of patients given a flu vaccine during the inpatient stay.

Intensive Specialty Hospital (Long-Term Acute Care) is evaluated under the CMS Long-Term Care Hospital Quality Reporting Program. Because LTCH patients typically need extended hospitalization for complex medical issues — often ventilator weaning — the headline measures emphasize ventilator liberation, breathing-trial compliance, and discharge to community, alongside the standard post-acute infection, function, and readmission set.
Percentage of ventilator-dependent patients who were weaned off the ventilator during their stay. Higher is better — this is the headline LTCH outcome since many LTCH patients arrive on prolonged mechanical ventilation.
Percentage of ventilator-dependent patients who received a daily spontaneous breathing trial assessment. Higher is better — SBTs are evidence-based ventilator weaning protocol.
Risk-standardized % of LTCH stays that ended at home. Higher is better.
Risk-adjusted Section GG (self-care + mobility) score at discharge. Higher is better.
Risk-adjusted change in mobility scores during the LTCH stay. Higher is better — reflects mobility gains during rehabilitation.
Risk-standardized % of LTCH stays followed by a preventable readmission to acute care within 30 days. Lower is better.
% of patients with no new or worsened pressure ulcers during the stay. Higher is better.
Rate of patient falls resulting in major injury (per 1,000 patient days). Lower is better.
Standardized Infection Ratio for catheter-associated UTIs — observed ÷ predicted. SIR < 1.0 is better than expected.
Standardized Infection Ratio for central-line bloodstream infections. CLABSI is a major LTCH concern given high central-line use. SIR < 1.0 is better than expected.
Standardized Infection Ratio for C. difficile. SIR < 1.0 is better than expected.
% of patients whose drug regimen was reviewed with follow-up actions taken when issues were identified. Higher is better.
% of discharges with a current reconciled medication list sent to the receiving provider. Higher is better.
Ratio of this LTCH's Medicare spending per beneficiary to the national average. 1.00 = matches national. Lower = more efficient.
