About this facility
NYP - Weill Cornell Medical Center is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) located in New York, New York. IRFs provide intensive, hospital-level therapy — typically physical, occupational, and speech therapy — to help patients regain function after a stroke, surgery, or serious injury, with the goal of returning home. This differs from a nursing home, which generally offers lower-intensity, longer-term custodial care. This facility is a non-profit organization and has been Medicare-certified since January 1, 1985.
According to CMS Care Compare, on the measure of discharging patients back to the community, this facility performs worse than the national rate. For readmissions measured from discharge, it performs no different than the national rate, but for readmissions measured during the rehab stay itself, it performs better than the national rate. On healthcare-associated infections, both the catheter-associated urinary tract infection rate and the C. difficile infection rate are no different than the national benchmark.
Overall, CMS rates this facility better than the national benchmark on 1 of 5 reported measures, and worse than the national benchmark on 1 of 5 reported measures, with the remaining measures showing no difference from national rates. Where a measure is not listed above, CMS has not published it, which often reflects a low number of qualifying cases rather than a quality concern. This summary is based on data published by CMS Care Compare.
