Leakage by Condition (CMS-13)
Where are we losing the most patients?
Stroke (CVA)High Leakage

Many mild-to-moderate stroke patients are being sent to SNFs for "slower" rehab, despite qualifying for IRF intensity.

Hip FractureModerate Leakage

Orthopedic surgeons often default to SNF for elderly hip fractures due to perceived frailty, missing IRF potential.

Neurological DisordersModerate Leakage

Parkinson's and MS exacerbations are frequently managed in SNFs, representing a specialized IRF niche opportunity.

Recapture Strategy
How to win these patients back
Educate Case ManagersFocus on the "Intensity Benefit" - 3 hours of therapy vs. SNF's lower requirements.
Target Orthopedic SurgeonsPresent data on faster functional recovery outcomes in IRF vs. SNF for hip fractures.
Early ScreeningImplement "IRF First" screening protocols in referring acute care hospitals.
