Providing the highest quality care to our patients and their families is integral to our mission. That is why it is important to demonstrate the results we deliver to our patients, their families and their physicians. Here are some of the achievements that Allied Services has attained.
Top Performer Award
Allied Rehab Hospital has received the Uniform Data System for Medical rehabilitation (UDSMR) Top Performer Award for several years. Each year UDSMR compares and evaluates nearly 800 inpatient rehab providers. Key quality measures include functional improvement (defined by how well a person can get around with everyday activities) and the percentages of patients who return home after rehab. The Top Performer Award is awarded to rehab facilities whose outcomes are in the top 10 % nationwide. Allied Rehab Hospital is ranked in the top 1% in the nation.
#1 Rehab Facility in the United States - 2013
As a result of the evaluations by UDSMR, Allied Rehab Hospital in Scranton came out as the top-ranked inpatient rehab facility among the 770-plus evaluated nationwide.
HomeCare Elite™
Allied Services Home Health has once again earned HomeCare Elite™ status, putting them among the top-performing home health agencies in the United States. The HomeCare Elite™ is a compilation that identifies the top 25 percent of agencies based on an analysis of performance measures. This year those measures include quality of care, quality improvement, patient experience and financial performance. This is the eight consecutive year that Allied Services Home Health has received this award.
Joint Commission Accreditation
Allied Services Inpatient Rehab Hospitals, outpatient centers, and Home Health have all been accredited by the Joint Commission. The Joint Commission evaluates and accredits more than 18,000 health care organizations and programs in the United States. An independent, not-for-profit organization, the Joint Commission is the nation’s oldest and largest standards-setting and accrediting body in health care.
From 2014 to date, Heinz Transitional Rehab Unit, Allied Transitional Rehab Unit and Allied Services Skilled Nursing and Rehab Unit have earned the area’s only five star rankings and title of the Nation’s best nursing homes, according to newly published U.S. News & World Report results. Annually, the magazine rates nearly 16,000 nursing homes, using data from the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services. Quality measures, nurse staffing and health inspection ratings are factored into the overall rating. Five-star nursing homes display a badge recognizing their “Best Nursing Home” status.
