HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Hutchinson Regional Medical Center’s Inpatient Rehab Unit is listed among the top 10 percent of rehabilitation facilities in the nation, earning the prestigious Top Performer Award for the fourth consecutive year.
The Uniform Data System for Medical Rehabilitation (UDSMR), a non-profit organization headquartered in Buffalo, New York, annually selects the nation’s top rehab facilities.
The Inpatient Rehabilitation Unit is an 11-bed unit located within Hutchinson Regional Medical Center (HRMC). Patients are required to participate in rehabilitation at least three hours per day, five days per week. Therapies include physical therapy, as well as occupational and speech therapy. Activities go beyond traditional exercises to simulate household management tasks, such as cooking, cleaning, and laundry, to help prepare them for their return home.
UDSMR maintains the largest national database for inpatient rehabilitation units. The HRMC Inpatient Rehab Unit was ranked among 850 similar organizations throughout the nation.
Rankings were determined by a reporting system using indicators contained in the Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility Assessment Instrument, a key indicator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid services’ reporting tool for Inpatient Rehabilitation facilities.
The Inpatient Rehabilitation Unit at Hutchinson Regional is one of only three units in the state of Kansas accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF).
