ClearSky Rehabilitation Hospital of Flower Mound Ranked in Top 10% Nationwide for Second Year

ClearSky Rehabilitation Hospital of Flower Mound has been recognized among the Top 10% in the nation for the second year in a row. The hospital was recognized among 892 inpatient rehabilitation facilities in the United States, earning the distinction for its delivery of quality patient care that is effective, efficient, timely, and patient-centered.

The 41-bed medical rehabilitation hospital provides specialized rehabilitative care to patients recovering from disabling injuries or illnesses such as strokes, brain injuries, hip fractures, spinal injuries, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, or other medically-complex conditions. The hospital’s physician-led interdisciplinary healthcare team consists of rehabilitation nurses; physical, occupational, and speech therapists; case managers; dietitians; respiratory therapists; and other healthcare professionals. The team treats about 650 patients annually.

ClearSky Flower Mound earned its ranking from Netsmart Technologies, Inc., the administrator and steward of the nation’s largest database for rehabilitation outcomes. The ranking was determined by Netsmart’s program evaluation model (PEM), a case-mix and severity-adjusted tool that generates a composite performance score and percentile ranking from data covering more than 80 percent of inpatient rehabilitation facilities across the nation. The rankings reflect discharges between October 2024 and September 2025.

“Being named a high-performing hospital among our national peers highlights the exceptional dedication and clinical excellence of our team,” says Tracie Watkins, CEO of ClearSky Flower Mound. “The distinction positions us as a leading provider in our region. We remain focused on delivering individualized, specialized rehabilitative care that supports meaningful recovery and helps our patients gain independence and return to their homes and the activities they enjoy.”

Watkins notes that a national study by the ARA Research Institute found medical rehabilitation hospitals like ClearSky Flower Mound provide better long-term outcomes for patients than other rehabilitation programs. “Being ranked among the top hospitals in that group affirms the quality and impact of the care we provide, leading to stronger outcomes and an improved quality of life for our patients,” she says. “We’re proud to help raise the bar for rehabilitative care and advance standards across the industry.”

This marks the 18th year that rankings have been issued to inpatient rehabilitation facilities. The original PEM Report Card, developed by Uniform Data System for Medical Rehabilitation (UDSMR), was created in response to a 2006 recommendation to Congress by the Institute of Medicine that every Medicare provider be reimbursed on a pay-for-performance basis. Netsmart’s PEM Version 2 Report Card builds on this foundation, incorporating quality measures to create comprehensive performance scores, with facilities ranked according to their composite results.
