Awards & Accreditations
The Joint Commission Gold Seal of Approval®
Our hospital has been accredited by The Joint Commission.
The Joint Commission is the nation’s leading and most widely recognized healthcare performance improvement organization. An organization that achieves accreditation shows its commitment to holding itself accountable to a high bar for quality and safety for those they serve.
In the accreditation process, compliance is measured with Joint Commission standards, as well as relevant standards from CMS and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Joint Commission standards are patient centric and focus on organizational systems and processes essential to the delivery of safe, high-quality care. Standards are informed by evidence associated with structures and processes predictive of better care. They include patient rights and education, infection control, medication management, and preventing medical errors.
Our program has ranked in the top 2% of rehabilitation hospitals nationally by Uniform Data System (UDS)!
Our top-performer designation is based on our ranking in the top deciles of UDS for the Medical Rehabilitation program evaluation model for more than 800 facilities, a report card for rehabilitation settings. UDS maintains the world's largest database of medical rehabilitation outcomes. That means your patients will get outstanding care, designed to help them regain as much function as possible.
What Does It Mean to Be in the Top 2%?
UDSMR considers all facilities that rank in the top 2% of the database as top program performers, recognizing their delivery of quality patient care as effective, efficient, timely and patient-centered.
Top 2% hospitals typically have a higher-than-target discharge to community and lower-than-target percentage of return to acute care during the rehab stay.
Top 2% hospitals typically have greater than 98% of their patients exceed the case level facility targets for discharge quality measures - self-care score and mobility score, change in self-care score and mobility score and functional efficiency.
What These Awards Mean for Patients
These awards and accreditations offer our patients peace of mind, knowing that they are choosing a hospital that is consistently recognized for its excellence. When you choose Knoxville Rehabilitation Hospital, you can be confident that you are receiving the highest quality care available.
