Vanderbilt Stallworth Rehabilitation Hospital is a joint venture partnership between HealthSouth Corporation and
Vanderbilt University. The hospital is accredited by The Joint Commission, the nation’s foremost standards-setting
and accrediting body in health care.
Patient Satisfaction
Vanderbilt Stallworth has enlisted Press Ganey, a leader in healthcare improvement for more than 20 years, to measure our patients' experience. Press Ganey works with more than 40% of U.S. hospitals, and according to publicly reported results, its clients score higher than non-clients on both the "Overall" rating and "Likelihood to Recommend."
Outcomes Measurement
Vanderbilt Stallworth utilizes the Uniform Data System for Medical Rehabilitation (UDSmr),
the rehabilitation industry’s most widely recognized outcomes measurement tool, to monitor overall
patient outcomes. This system measures the effectiveness of our hospitals’ rehabilitation programs by
evaluating and tracking a patient’s functional status upon admission, discharge and post-discharge to
document the level of disability and to assess the effectiveness of rehabilitation. UDS also allows Vanderbilt Stallworth to
benchmark its rehabilitation hospitals against regional and national performance data.
