Outcome Data Report

January – December 2025

Our goal is to help you regain strength, recover skills and return to daily activities with as much independence as possible.

Every patient has individualized rehabilitation needs, goals and hopes for the future. To that end, Select Specialty Hospitals measures and monitors our patients’ outcomes to gauge how well we are helping individuals reach their milestones.

We use several industry standard indicators, to measure improvement in mobility and daily living activities such as bathing, dressing and self-care. Other quality metrics include falls and infection rates, discharge destinations, patient satisfaction and their likelihood to recommend Select Specialty Hospitals.
