About this facility
Emory University Hospital in Atlanta, Dekalb County, Georgia, includes a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF), certified since September 1, 1984, and operated as a non-profit organization. An inpatient rehabilitation facility provides intensive, hospital-level therapy — often including physical, occupational, and speech therapy — to help patients regain function and independence after events such as a stroke, major surgery, or serious injury, with the goal of returning home safely. This differs from a nursing home, which typically offers a slower pace of custodial or lower-intensity care.
CMS Care Compare reports facility performance using national benchmark comparisons across measures such as the rate of patients discharged to the community (returning home), rates of potentially preventable hospital readmissions, and rates of healthcare-associated infections, including catheter-associated urinary tract infections and C. difficile infections. For this facility, the specific values for discharge-to-community rate, readmission rates, and infection rates were not included in the data provided, so no comparison to the national benchmark can be reported here.
Based on the available data, CMS does not currently show this facility as better than or worse than the national benchmark on any of the five reported measures (0 better, 0 worse), which may reflect that detailed measure data was not supplied rather than any indication of quality. Patients and families are encouraged to consult Medicare Care Compare directly for the most current, detailed measure-by-measure results before making a decision.
