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 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.
