Rehabilitation Outcomes

Outcomes in the Inpatient Rehabilitation Unit are measured by a software system called the FRESNO (Functional Rehabilitation Evaluation of Sensori-Neurologic Outcomes), developed by an interdisciplinary research team at the hospital. The tool clinically assesses children and adolescents with disabilities regarding motor, self-care, cognition, communication, and socialization.

The FRESNO tracks improvements in functional performance from admission to discharge on a weekly basis, determines the efficiency and effectiveness of the rehabilitation program, and provides a focus towards home, school, and community reintegration. The FRESNO is scored by several disciplines including: physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech, rehabilitation nursing, and neuropsychology.
