Critical Findings
1
NSPIRE Healthcare Tamarac — 83.5% hospitalization rate on 33 Woodmont patients
4 of every 5 Woodmont patients discharged here were rehospitalized during their SNF stay. Paired with a 38.1% 90-day readmit, fac risk 5.37 (Very High), and a 2-star CMS rating. Appears at all 4 hospitals. The single worst metric in the dataset.
2
West Broward Rehab — Fac risk 14.08 at University · 69.2% hosp rate at Westside (28 patients)
Highest facility risk score in the entire dataset. Present at all 4 hospitals. Not in the February 2026 CMS registry — operates without regulatory accountability from star ratings. The breadth of exposure combined with extreme risk scores makes this the most urgent system-level finding.
3
Regents Park of Sunrise — 59.8% hosp rate on 63 Westside patients · Fac risk 5.06
3-star CMS rating completely masks this performance. Very High fac risk across all sending hospitals. The 3rd-highest-volume Westside partner — high enough that the exposure is material, not marginal.
4
Sunrise Health & Rehab — 236+ patients system-wide · Fac risk 4.21–4.80 across all hospitals
The system's single highest-volume post-acute partner. Consistently Very High fac risk and hospitalization rates of 46–52% across Northwest, Westside, and Woodmont. Volume concentration at this facility without a performance management plan is the system's largest unaddressed quality risk by sheer scale.
5
University Hospital — SNF utilization 0.31% vs 8.61% FL avg · FFS 30d readmit 20.59% vs 17.10% state avg
Opened November 2021. Post-acute relationships are still forming — but existing partners carry facility risk scores of 14.08, 11.06, and 4.80. This is the highest-leverage intervention in the system: a clean slate where a preferred network can be established before volume patterns harden.

Recommended Actions
1
Immediate preferred network review — NSPIRE Tamarac, West Broward Rehab, Regents Park of Sunrise
These three facilities collectively account for measurable hospitalization and readmission events that exceed any defensible performance threshold. Review should establish a time-bound performance improvement plan or exit trigger applied uniformly across all four hospitals — not managed independently by each care management team.
2
Establish a system-level post-acute dashboard spanning all four hospitals with performance-based steering
Four hospitals independently routing patients to overlapping SNF networks with no shared visibility makes it impossible to detect system-level patterns before they become adverse event patterns. A unified view of facility risk, hospitalization rates, and readmission trends is the foundational capability that every other recommendation depends on.
3
Launch a preferred network development program at University Hospital before discharge volume normalizes
University's 0.31% SNF utilization is an early indicator, not a protected outcome. Acting now to establish a preferred tier prioritizing facilities like Springtree Rehab (5-star, fac risk 2.13) and Glades West (5-star, fac risk 2.83) sets the standard before referral relationships and volume patterns lock in.
