About this facility
Providence Portland Medical Center is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) in Portland, Oregon, serving Multnomah County. IRFs provide intensive, hospital-level therapy—often physical, occupational, and speech therapy—to help patients regain function after a stroke, major surgery, or serious injury, with the goal of returning home rather than moving to long-term custodial care. This facility has been Medicare-certified since January 1, 1984, and is operated as a non-profit organization.
According to CMS Care Compare data, Providence Portland Medical Center performs better than the national rate on the measure of discharging patients back to the community, meaning patients here return home after rehab more often than the national benchmark suggests. On potentially-preventable readmission measures—both during the rehab stay and after discharge—the facility performs no different than the national rate, indicating readmission patterns typical of IRFs nationwide. For healthcare-associated infections, the C. diff infection measure is reported as no different than the national benchmark.
Taken together, CMS rates this facility better than the national benchmark on 1 of the 5 reported measures, with none rated worse than the national benchmark. The remaining measures fall in the 'no different than' range, reflecting typical national performance rather than a concern. Where a measure is not mentioned here, CMS has not published it for this facility, which often reflects a low number of qualifying cases rather than a quality issue. This summary is based on CMS Care Compare data; families should check the source directly for the most current figures.
