Upon admission, each patient is assigned to a physician-led team that specializes in the patient's specific condition, and to a Case Coordinator. The team examines and assesses the patient to determine individual strengths, weaknesses and problems, and then, along with the patient and family, sets functional goals and develops an intensive, comprehensive, individualized therapy program to achieve these goals. The Case Coordinator serves as the link between the patient and the team and sees that all of the patient's rehabilitation issues are addressed by the team. Treatment goals and plans for discharge are formulated and revised by the patient's rehabilitation team during weekly conferences and through patient and family meetings.
Family members are key members of our treatment teams.
They provide insight that is useful in planning a program uniquely suited to the individual patient, and they contribute to treatment by providing encouragement, assistance and feedback. All treatment emphasizes patient and family education about the nature, cause and care of the patient's illness or injury. Tours for family members and others interested in seeing the hospital are welcome. Physician clinics are regularly scheduled and patients are seen by appointment. Outpatient therapy services are scheduled according to the patient's needs.
