Select Medical

Select Medical is a national leader in post-acute care, operating a vast network of critical illness recovery hospitals, inpatient rehabilitation facilities, and outpatient centers across the United States. The company generates revenue through specialized rehabilitation services for patients recovering from critical illness, surgery, or chronic conditions, billing primarily through Medicare, private insurers, and hospital partnerships. With over 45,000 employees and a presence in multiple states, Select Medical functions as a large-scale, integrated healthcare provider focused on clinical outcomes and care continuity. Their Cincinnati location at 3219 Clifton Ave #315 in the CUF neighborhood serves as an outpatient rehabilitation center, likely supporting patients transitioning from acute care to home-based recovery. This facility benefits from proximity to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center and other regional hospitals, creating a steady referral stream. As a strong EBP prospect, Select Medical’s 100+ employees would yield approximately $119,000 in annual tax savings ($1,190 × 100), with the COO overseeing operational efficiency and workforce management across locations. The COO would be motivated to adopt EBP due to significant recurring cost savings, improved ability to invest in clinical technology and staff retention, and enhanced competitiveness in attracting healthcare talent in a tight labor market. Implementing EBP would directly address known pain points like high employee turnover and benefits cost pressures by freeing up operational budget for workforce development and reducing administrative burden on HR teams.
