The CTM-3 is a hospital level measure of performance that reports the average patient reported quality of preparation for self-care response among adult patients discharged from general acute care hospitals within the past 30 days.
The measure calculates a skilled nursing facility’s (SNFs) average change in mobility for patients admitted from a hospital who are receiving therapy. The measure calculates the average change in mobility 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 mobility subscale of the Continuity Assessment and Record Evaluation (CARE) Tool and information from the admission MDS 3.0 assessment.

The Activity Measure for Post Acute Care (AM-PAC) is a functional status assessment instrument developed specifically for use in facility and community dwelling post acute care (PAC) patients. It was built using Item Response Theory (IRT) methods to achieve feasible, practical, and precise measurement of functional status (Hambleton 200, Hambleton 2005).

The measure calculates the percentage of family or designated responsible party for long stay residents (i.e., residents living in the facility for 100 days or more), who are satisfied (see: S.5 for details of the timeframe). This consumer reported outcome measure is based on the CoreQ: Long-Stay Family questionnaire that has three items.
The measure calculates the percentage of long-stay residents, those living in the facility for 100 days or more, who are satisfied (see: S.5 for details of the time-frame). This patient reported outcome measure is based on the CoreQ: Long-Stay Resident questionnaire that is a three item questionnaire.
The measure calculates the percentage of individuals discharged in a six month time period from a SNF, within 100 days of admission, who are satisfied (see: S.5 for details of the time-frame). This patient reported outcome measure is based on the CoreQ: Short Stay Discharge questionnaire that utilizes four items.
