Inpatient Rehabilitation Volume and Functional Outcomes in Stroke, Lower Extremity Fracture, and Lower Extremity Joint Replacement
BACKGROUND: It is unclear if volume-outcome relationships exist in inpatient rehabilitation. OBJECTIVES: Assess associations between facility volumes and 2 patient-centered outcomes in the 3 most common diagnostic groups in inpatient rehabilitation. RESEARCH DESIGN: We used hierarchical linear and generalized linear models to analyze administrative assessment data from patients receiving inpatient rehabilitation services for stroke (n=202,423), l…
Outcomes and Reimbursement of Inpatient Rehabilitation Facilities and Subacute Rehabilitation Programs for Medicare Beneficiaries With Hip Fracture
OBJECTIVE: We sought to assess whether outcomes and reimbursement differ for Medicare beneficiaries with hip fracture when treated in an inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) compared with a skilled nursing facility (SNF) subacute rehabilitation program. PARTICIPANTS: Clinical data were linked with Medicare claims for 29,793 Medicare fee-for-service beneficiaries with a recent hip fracture who completed treatment in 1996 or 1997 in rehabilitati…
Disparity in Health Services and Outcomes for Persons With Hip Fracture and Lower Extremity Joint Replacement
OBJECTIVE: Examine disparity in health services and outcomes for adults with a hip fracture or lower extremity joint replacement. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study examined 28,522 patient records including 12,328 (mean age 76.6 years) with hip fracture and 16,194 (mean age 71.8 years) with joint replacement. RESULTS: Non-Hispanic white and black patients were significantly (P < 0.05) more likely to be discharged home alone and responsible for the…
Inpatient Rehabilitation After Stroke: A Comparison of Lengths of Stay and Outcomes in the Veterans Affairs and Non???Veterans Affairs Health Care System
BACKGROUND: Patients have longer lengths of hospital stay (LOS) in VA medical centers than in the general health care system. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to determine whether resource use and outcome differences between VA and non-VA inpatient rehabilitation facilities remain after controlling for patient and medical care delivery differences. DESIGN: This analysis involved 60 VA inpatient rehabilitation units and 467 non-VA rehabi…
Classifying Rehabilitation Inpatients by Expected Functional Gain
OBJECTIVES: To create a more suitable payment system for medical rehabilitation, the authors developed a companion classification system to the original functional independence measure-function-related groups (FIM-FRGs), which classify patients having similar lengths of stay in a rehabilitation hospital or inpatient unit. The companion system presented here groups patients according to their gains in functional status during the rehabilitation st…
A Case-Mix Classification System for Medical Rehabilitation
Dissatisfaction with Medicare's current system of paying for rehabilitation care has led to proposals for a rehabilitation prospective payment system, but first a classification system for rehabilitation patients must be created. Data for 36,980 patients admitted to and discharged from 125 rehabilitation facilities between January 1, 1990, and April 19, 1991, were provided by the Uniform Data System for Medical Rehabilitation. Classification rule…
