8 Example Clinical Pathway Program

9 Skilled Nursing Rehabilitation: Home Assessments A Home Assessment is defined as: A complete analysis of the patient s residence, family residence, for safety concerns, architectural barriers, to enhance improved communication and results. A Home Assessment is a vital part of the rehabilitation process ensuring the safest discharge to the home environment to a known environment and to the care of a known therapist

10 Skilled Nursing Rehabilitation: Home Assessment Marketing information provided to all potential referral sources Reviewed with patient and/or family during admission process Scheduled within hrs with family Completed within 48 hours of admissions Available < 24 hours following admission Visits coordinated for morning/afternoon/evening as indicated by family Home Assessment duration: minutes Results reviewed with Interdisciplinary Team < 24 hours following completion Home Assessment completed by Occupational Therapist from SNF and Home Care Teams

11 Home Assessment: Facility Goals Home Assessment Program Facility Goals to improve: Communication/relationship with family on goals/outcomes Individual Patients and facility overall discharge score Individual Patients and facility length-of-stay(los) Patients functional outcome gains (as well as, Section GG of MDS admit/d/c score) Hospital readmission rate % Therapy efficiency, documentation and functional goals Facility admission and Marketing Dashboard Rating in Post Acute Care

12 Home Assessments: Occupational Therapist Occupational Therapist completing Home Assessment is scheduled to be the same clinician who follows resident home post discharge. Home Assessment Goals for OT: Assess patient/family s home for any modifications/measurements (stairs, furniture, doorways, etc.) Recommendations for adaptions to environment to ensure safest function within home Recommendations for alternative home set-up during recovery process (first floor setup) Determine additional training needs for caregiver/patient for successful transition home (what is specific focus in therapy, main goals) Review environment for potential Durable Medical Equipment (DME) needs during SNF stay and upon discharge Educate family members on expected outcomes, goals, facility LOS, and adaptations recommended for a safe discharge home Provide realistic functional information to IDT to improve delivery of POC and admission/discharge scores in Section GG

13 How Well Do You Know What The Data Reveals? 1. Nearly Medicare beneficiaries are readmitted to the hospital within 30 days of an acute hospitalization. a. 1 in 5 b. 1 in 8 c. 2 in 7 2. Discharge planning occurs the patient is discharged from the acute care hospital and throughout the hospital stay. a. when b. before c. after 3. Adverse events related to are among the leading causes of hospital readmission. a. falls b. dietary precautions c. medication management 4. Medicare data suggests that 39% of older adults transfer between different care settings in the 30 days after hospital discharge. a. usually once b. 2 or more times c. Twice 5. Specific recommendations upon discharge are necessary in the discharge summary for adequate home care carryover. Specific recommendations from Physical Therapists, including those regarding the needs for assistive devices for further PT services, are completely missing from of discharge summaries.
