St. Cloud Hospital Inpatient Rehabilitation Unit has provided comprehensive rehabilitative care to Central Minnesota since 1985.

Our goal is simple: to help our patients lead a more independent life following an illness or injury.
The charts below show outcomes from the St. Cloud Hospital Inpatient Rehabilitation Unit.

Patient Satisfaction
Beginning with our Catholic heritage more than 120 years ago, St. Cloud hospital has a longstanding culture of serving our patients. We are pleased to report that 90 percent of inpatient
rehabilitation patients say they are likely to recommend St. Cloud Hospital to others.

Impairments
The chart below shows the types of impairments treated by St. Cloud Hospital Inpatient Rehabilitation Unit. It also compares St. Cloud Hospital to other inpatient rehabilitation programs both regionally and nationally.

Patient Populations

Age Number of Patients \13-17 18-65 >65 Total 8 203 245 456 Average age: 63 years Data is from July 1, 2007- June 30, 2008.

Average Ratio

Average Length of Stay - All patients
Our length of stay is less than the regional and national averages.

Functional Independence
The functional independence measurement (FIM) instrument is a nationally recognized tool that measures your ability to care for yourself. Areas measured include eating, grooming, bathing, toileting, transfers, mobility, bowel/bladder management, communication and cognitive skills. Total FIM change means the change in function from admission to discharge on the rehabilitation unit. A higher score indicates increased functional independence.

Discharge to Community
The discharge to community rate indicates the percentage of patients discharged to a community-based setting directly following their rehabilitation stay. Most of our patients return to a community-based setting at discharge.

Discharge to community is defined as patients whose discharge destination was home, room and board, transitional living, intermediate care, or assisted living residence.

Stroke Outcomes
Stroke is one of the largest impairment groups served on the St. Cloud Hospital Inpatient Rehabilitation Unit. We achieved slightly better average total FIM change admission to discharge scores while achieving a shorter length of stay than both the regional and national average.

Led by our medical director of 13 years, Gregory Schlosser, MD, our team of physiatrists has special training in physical medicine and rehabilitation. Your physiatrist is your case coordinator while on the rehabilitation unit. Medical management is available 24 hours a day, 7 days per week.
