Feasibility and Benefits of Serial Measurement in Inpatient Rehabilitation to Identify Trajectories of Recovery 9667

Measurement in the inpatient rehabilitation environment at only two timepoints may limit the utility of measurements to identify rehabilitation trajectories in small to medium-sized facilities. In this session we will discuss work completed to institute serial measurement, results on feasibility, and results on utility. We will show specific examples of how the measures are reported and extracted. Several barriers occur when looking to extract serial measurement to use in meaningful ways - particularly when the opportunity to measure is not the same for each patient due to varied rehabilitation lengths of stay.
The symposia will be designed to provide a discussion session for experts in measurement and clinical practice to interact over feasible ways to better capture and understand data in small to medium rehabilitation systems with few analytics resources. The insights offered are intended to provide instruction for others on the best use of clinical measurements for meaningful action.
