Additional Unit Information:
Braintree Rehabilitation Hospital – Framingham provides acute inpatient rehabilitation care to patients who demonstrate the need for close physician oversight and who have experienced a decline in function. The interdisciplinary rehabilitation team, led by a doctor of rehabilitation, creates individualized patient care plans for patients with stroke, brain injury, multi-trauma, multiple sclerosis, cardiac, pulmonary, spinal cord injury, orthopedic and amputation. The team utilizes clinical practice guidelines and quality initiatives to drive superior patient outcomes and help patients return to home safely.
 
 
Other Team Members:
The Framingham unit is a single unit in the City of Framingham that has been established to reach out to those in the area offering the same specialized care based on best practices providing an organized approach to rehabilitation with the singular goal of returning patients to home and family.
 
 
There are many variables to consider in establishing safe, efficiently staffed hospital units. Patient care units differ based upon the types of patients cared for on a given unit, and the way in which care is organized and delivered there. Education and experience levels of unit staff, support from nurse educators and nurse managers also factor into unit staffing decisions, as does the unique characteristics and mission of each hospital. It is also important to look at patient outcomes (including fall rates, pressure ulcer rates, and Hospital Compare measures related to heart attack care, heart failure care, pneumonia care and surgical care) in the Performance Measures section of PatientCareLink.
