Executive Insights
Strategic takeaways from the 2024 market data analysis

Geographic Hotspots Identified

Metairie (70002) and New Orleans (70112) represent the highest volume origins with significant IRF-appropriate patients. Jefferson Parish shows strong leakage to SNFs, representing a prime interception opportunity for liaisons covering the West Bank and Metairie territories.

Referral Leakage Opportunity

A substantial portion of CMS-13 compliant patients (Stroke, Hip Fracture, Neurological) are currently being discharged to Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNFs) instead of IRFs. This "leakage" represents the most immediate actionable growth opportunity for your liaisons.

Competitive Landscape

PAM Health Rehabilitation Hospital dominates the New Orleans market with 40 beds but is capacity-constrained (95%+ occupancy, 2-3 day wait times). This creates a strategic opportunity to position as the rapid-admission alternative for hospitals frustrated with PAM's delays.
