1.6 Measure Description

The measure calculates a skilled nursing facility’s (SNFs) average change in self care for patients admitted from a hospital who are receiving therapy. The measure calculates the average change in self care score between admission and discharge for all residents admitted to a SNF from a hospital or another post-acute care setting for therapy (i.e., PT or OT) regardless of payor status. This is a risk adjusted outcome measure, based on the self care subscale of the Continuity Assessment and Record Evaluation (CARE) Tool and information from the admission MDS 3.0 assessment. The measure is calculated on a rolling 12 month, average updated quarterly.
