Long-Term Acute Care

Vibra Specialty Hospital of Portland

10300 Ne Hancock Street, Portland, OR 97220

Context that affects how to read this rating

Vibra Specialty Hospital of Portland is a Long-Term Care Hospital (LTCH) — a specialized facility for medically complex patients needing extended hospital stays, often involving prolonged mechanical ventilation, severe wounds, or complex IV antibiotic therapy. LTCHs do not receive a CMS Overall Hospital Star Rating because they are evaluated under the separate LTCH Quality Reporting Program (LTCH QRP). Headline LTCH outcomes emphasize ventilator liberation (weaning vent-dependent patients), spontaneous breathing trial compliance, discharge to community, and hospital-acquired infection rates.

Long-Term Care Hospital Quality Measures (LTCH QRP)

Vibra Specialty Hospital of Portland 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.

Ventilator Liberation 60.2%
National median: 60.3% n = 71 Near national median

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.

Spontaneous Breathing Trial (Component 1) 100.0%
National median: 99.0% n = 108 Near national median

Percentage of ventilator-dependent patients who received a daily spontaneous breathing trial assessment. Higher is better — SBTs are evidence-based ventilator weaning protocol.

Spontaneous Breathing Trial (Component 2) 100.0%
National median: 100.0% n = 108 Near national median

Percentage of eligible patients who passed the SBT and were extubated within 24 hours. Higher is better.

Discharge to Community 36.5%
National median: 16.6% n = 143 Better than national median

Risk-standardized % of LTCH stays that ended at home. Higher is better.

Discharge Function Score 45.26
National median: 47.87 n = 105 Worse than national median

Risk-adjusted Section GG (self-care + mobility) score at discharge. Higher is better.

Change in Mobility 8.03
National median: 6.26 Better than national median

Risk-adjusted change in mobility scores during the LTCH stay. Higher is better — reflects mobility gains during rehabilitation.

Preventable Readmissions Post-Discharge (30 days) 17.59%
National median: 21.37% n = 10 Better than national median

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

Pressure Ulcer / Skin Integrity 0.0%
National median: 0.0% Near national median

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

Falls With Major Injury 0.00
National median: 0.00 Near national median

Rate of patient falls resulting in major injury (per 1,000 patient days). Lower is better.

CAUTI (Urinary Tract) Infection Ratio 1.50
National median: 0.58 95% CI: 0.89–2.38 Worse than national median

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

CLABSI (Central-Line Bloodstream) Infection Ratio 2.06
National median: 0.56 95% CI: 1.04–3.67 Worse than national median

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.

C. diff Infection Ratio 0.25
National median: 0.20 95% CI: 0.09–0.56 Worse than national median

Standardized Infection Ratio for C. difficile. SIR < 1.0 is better than expected.

Drug Regimen Review With Follow-up 37.4%
National median: 70.5% n = 86 Worse than national median

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

Transfer of Health Info to Provider 100.0%
National median: 95.6% n = 322 Near national median

% of discharges with a current reconciled medication list sent to the receiving provider. Higher is better.

Medicare Spending Per Beneficiary 0.93
National median: 0.99 Better than national median

Ratio of this LTCH's Medicare spending per beneficiary to the national average. 1.00 = matches national. 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.
