Day Hospital Treatment

SIRH's Day Hospital Treatment Program helps people who need the same intensity and frequency of therapy services associated with an inpatient stay, but do not require overnight hospitalization. A patient's therapy is scheduled throughout the day to allow adequate rest between sessions. 

Nursing supervision is available with training on medical issues such as diabetic teaching and wound care. The Rehab Team assures that each patient's treatment plan is specific to his or her needs. Team conferences are held weekly and are attended by a representative from each therapeutic discipline, the physician and the case manager.

The program is under the direction of a physiatrist (a physician who specializes in rehabilitation) who is responsible for the leadership of the patient's program. Day Hospital is designed to be flexible to meet the varied needs of our patients. Treatment may vary in frequency of days and the therapy needed. For example, a total knee replacement patient requiring physical therapy with greater intensity may come for twice daily treatments of physical therapy five days per week with a rest break between sessions. This intensity of treatment would reduce as the patient progressed. However, a patient who has suffered a stroke might require physical, occupational and speech therapies with greater intensity for a longer period of time.
