Patient Outcomes
Cape Fear Valley Rehabilitation Center (CFVRC) has been awarded accreditation from the Commission of Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities. The accreditation includes program accreditation for comprehensive integrated interdisciplinary rehabilitation.
CFVRC strives to keep the length of stay short while working towards the goal of discharging patients with the highest level of functional independence as is possible.
Clinical Outcomes For Adults
CFVRC uses the Functional Independence Measure (FIM) for adult patients, which looks at 18 items such as eating, dressing, and talking on a seven-point scale. The scale ranges from total independence (7) to total dependence (1). The staff evaluates each patient using this measure on admission and at discharge. CFVRC sends results of these measures to a nationwide database each quarter. CFVRC’s results are compared with over 800 other facilities as shown below:
