Outcomes

We share our patients’ goals of restoring physical and functional ability. Through a comprehensive program of medical, nursing and therapy care, we help each person regain strength, recover skills and return to as much independence as possible. Our programs are underpinned by extensive support and education.

Patients have different rehabilitation needs and will progress toward goals at their own speed. To help gauge treatment effectiveness, Kessler Institute collects a variety of data and reports on its outcomes.

These outcomes are assessed using several indicators, including standardized industry measurements of mobility improvement and activities of daily living - such as bathing, dressing and self-care. Other quality metrics we monitor include falls and infection rates, discharge destinations, and our patients' satisfaction and likelihood to recommend Kessler Institute.

In 2019, for example, more than 7,200 individuals chose Kessler Institute for inpatient rehabilitation. Most of these patients came to us with more medically complex and challenging needs than at other hospitals across the country, yet they experienced greater functional gains and expressed greater satisfaction with their progress and our hospital's specialized programs*.
