Date Presented 04/9/21 This study is the first to compare total and change scores of Section GG to the FIM® for patients with stroke receiving care at inpatient rehabilitation facilities (IRFs). The study’s findings show Section GG has relatively similar response patterns in self-care and mobility as the FIM. Our findings help OTs better understand Section GG and associated regional variations for patients with stroke and potential implications in IRF practice.

Date Presented 04/06/19 This study is the first in examining the relationship between PAC utilization, Medicare HRRP, and 30-day unplanned RSRR for HRRP targeted and nontargeted impairment conditions. The study finding provides healthcare policy makers with preliminary information to understand the impact of PAC utilization on RSRRs.

Date Presented 04/04/19 The study findings revealed significant differences in the outcomes of inpatient and skilled-nursing stroke rehabilitation within US stroke rehabilitation services. Researchers need to investigate patient and facility factors associated with skilled-nursing stroke rehabilitation.

Date Presented 4/19/2018 This poster describes an inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) study examining the relationship between facility-level factors and 30-day unplanned readmission rates among Medicare beneficiaries. Identifying factors related to care process at the organization and region levels could potentially improve the quality of IRF care.
