About this facility
Norman Regional Hospital is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) located in Norman, Oklahoma, in Cleveland County. It has been Medicare-certified since February 11, 2014, and is operated under government ownership. An IRF provides intensive, hospital-level therapy—typically physical, occupational, and speech therapy—to help patients regain strength and daily function after a stroke, surgery, or serious injury, with the goal of returning safely home. This differs from a nursing home, which generally offers slower-paced, longer-term custodial or rehabilitative care.
According to CMS Care Compare data, Norman Regional Hospital's rate of discharging patients back to the community is no different than the national rate. Its readmission rates—both the measure tracking unplanned readmissions during the rehab stay and the measure tracking readmissions after discharge—are also no different than the national rate. Among healthcare-associated infection measures, the C. diff infection rate is no different than the national benchmark; a catheter-associated urinary tract infection rate was not reported by CMS, which can occur when there are too few cases to calculate a reliable rate—this does not indicate poor quality.
Overall, CMS rates this facility as performing on par with national benchmarks across all measures it has publicly reported, with zero measures marked better than or worse than the national rate. Families considering rehabilitation here can review these details directly on CMS Care Compare, which is the source of this information.
