About this facility
Ascension-Mercy Hospital is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) located in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, and operated as a non-profit organization. It has been Medicare-certified since June 1, 2018. Inpatient rehabilitation facilities like this one provide intensive, hospital-level therapy — typically including physical, occupational, and speech therapy — to help patients regain function after events such as a stroke, major surgery, or serious injury, with the goal of returning home. This differs from a nursing home, which generally offers a lower intensity of therapy over a longer period rather than the concentrated, short-term rehabilitation model used in IRFs.
According to CMS Care Compare data, Ascension-Mercy Hospital's rate of discharging patients back to the community is no different than the national rate. Its rate of potentially-preventable readmissions during the rehabilitation stay, and its rate of readmissions after discharge, are also both reported as no different than the national rate. CMS did not report facility-specific comparisons for healthcare-associated infections, such as catheter-associated urinary tract infections or C. difficile infections, in the data provided; this often occurs because of low case counts and should not be read as an indicator of poor quality.
Overall, CMS rates this facility as performing no different than the national benchmark on the measures reported, with 0 measures rated better and 0 measures rated worse than the national rate. Families are encouraged to review the current listing on CMS Care Compare for the most up-to-date information.
