Casa Colina Recognized by Newsweek as One of America’s Best Physical Rehabilitation Centers for Second Straight Year

Casa Colina Hospital and Centers for Healthcare has been recognized for the second year in a row as one of America’s Best Physical Rehabilitation Centers by Newsweek, who partnered with global market research firm Statista Inc. to compile the rankings.

The list highlights the nation’s top inpatient rehabilitation facilities (IRFs) based on quality of care, quality of service, quality of follow-up care, and accommodation and amenities. Facilities from all 50 states were part of the survey, according to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). The rankings feature the top 255 centers nationwide.

The evaluation process consisted of several measurements:

• Recommendations from peers: Thousands of medical experts (physicians, therapists, medical doctors, administration, and staff working in physical rehabilitation facilities) were invited to an online peer-to-peer survey.

• Quality Score: Participants were asked to rank the quality of care, quality of service, quality of follow-up care, and accommodations and amenities.

• KPI Data Scores: The U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) publishes KPI data for physical rehabilitation centers. The KPI data includes 15 different measures.

• Model Systems and CARF Accreditations: Facilities with these accreditations received a bonus to their overall score.

“Casa Colina is proud to offer a comprehensive continuum of rehabilitative services that help patients go farther in their recoveries and return to more fulfilling, productive lives following an injury or illness,” says Felice L. Loverso, PhD, Casa Colina President and CEO. “Since our humble beginnings in 1938 as a hospital for children recovering from polio, patient-focused rehabilitation has always been at the heart of what we do, and we are excited to once again be recognized by Newsweek.”
