About this facility
Duncan Regional Hospital is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) located in Duncan, Stephens County, Oklahoma, certified for Medicare participation since July 1, 2005 and operated as a non-profit organization. An IRF provides intensive, hospital-level therapy — often including physical, occupational, and speech therapy — for patients recovering from a stroke, surgery, or serious injury, with the goal of helping them regain function and return home, rather than the longer-term, lower-intensity care typically provided in a nursing home.
According to CMS Care Compare, Duncan Regional Hospital's rate of discharging patients to the community (returning home) is 'No Different than the National Rate.' Its potentially-preventable readmission rates — both readmissions during the rehab stay and after discharge — are also each reported as 'No Different than the National Rate.' CMS has not published data on healthcare-associated infection rates (such as catheter-associated infections or C. diff) for this facility, which often occurs when there are too few cases to report reliably; this should not be read as an indication of poor quality.
Overall, among the measures CMS reports for this facility, none are rated better than the national benchmark and none are rated worse — all reported measures fall in the 'no different than national rate' category.
