This quality measure reports the percentage of all Long-Term Care Hospital (LTCH) patients with an admission and discharge functional assessment and a care plan that addresses function.
This measure, based on data from the Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment of long-stay nursing facility residents, estimates the percentage of long-stay residents in a nursing facility whose need for assistance with late-loss Activities of Daily Living (ADLs), as reported in the target assessment, increased when compared with a prior assessment. The four late-loss ADLs are: bed mobility, transfer, eating, and toilet use.
