Parkview Medical Center in Pueblo, Colorado, is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF), certified since July 1, 1994, and operated as a non-profit organization. An IRF provides intensive, hospital-level rehabilitation therapy—often several hours a day of physical, occupational, and/or speech therapy—to help patients regain strength and function after a stroke, major surgery, or serious injury, with the goal of returning home rather than a long-term stay.
According to CMS Care Compare data, Parkview Medical Center's rate of discharging patients back to the community is 'No Different than the National Rate,' meaning patients here return home at a rate consistent with the national average. Its readmission measures—both readmissions during the rehab stay and after discharge—are also reported as 'No Different than the National Rate,' indicating typical outcomes in preventing unplanned returns to the hospital. For healthcare-associated infections, the C. diff measure is reported as 'No Different than the National Benchmark.' Catheter-associated infection data is not specified here; when a measure is not reported, CMS often withholds it due to low case counts, which is not an indicator of poor quality.

This summary reflects CMS Care Compare data as made available for this facility.
