Braintree Rehabilitation Hospital is an acute rehabilitation facility that focuses on inpatient rehabilitation of stroke, brain injury, hip fracture and other complex neurological and orthopedic conditions patients. As such, our major programs are Stroke, Brain Injury and Movement disorders.
We consistently monitor our performance indicators both internally as well as externally through Patient First, Massachusetts Hospital Association quality initiative; Universal Data System Functional Index Measure as well as independent research firms to continually monitor and measure patient experience.
The Patient First indicators for acute rehabilitation hospitals are Fall Rate, Fall Rate with Injury and Facility-acquired Pressure Ulcers. These 3 indicators provide insight into the care provided by nursing staff. Braintree rate of falls with injury and pressure ulcers prevalence is significantly less than our peer group. We feel that our success is directly related to our commitment to provide the least restrictive environment possible promoting mobility and independence. Braintree Rehabilitation Hospital conducts a 100% review of all restraints utilized within the facility. We feel that this close scrutiny has enabled our facility to provide a safe environment that is restraint appropriate. Our safety training with the staff has increased their knowledge in the management of the neurologically impaired patients so that all appropriate interventions and review of alternatives occur prior to the utilization of a restraint.
It is our ability to provide quality programs that challenge patients to achieve the highest level of mobility and independence dedicated to the one goal of returning patients to their community and family.
