Evaluation system assesses rehabilitation.

S Verhey, B Upton

    Health Progress (Saint Louis, Mo.)
    |October 6, 1988
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    This program evaluation system objectively assesses patient functions using the Functional Assessment Scale (FAS) to improve patient care management and accountability. It helps determine post-discharge needs and guides treatment adjustments for better patient outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Healthcare Management
    • Rehabilitation Medicine
    • Patient Outcomes

    Background:

    • Effective program evaluation is crucial for managing patient care and ensuring accountability.
    • Objective assessment of patient function is key to determining appropriate levels of care.
    • Existing systems may lack comprehensive functional assessment capabilities.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and evaluate a program evaluation system for improved patient management.
    • To demonstrate the utility of objective functional assessment in determining patient needs.
    • To highlight the role of such systems in enhancing accountability and treatment planning.

    Main Methods:

    • Implementation of a program evaluation system with defined objectives, measurements, and expectancies.

  • Utilization of the Functional Assessment Scale (FAS) for measuring patient function (dependence to independence).
  • Concurrent evaluations and quarterly management reports for pattern analysis and operational integration.

    • Main Results:

    • The system provides objective assessment of patient functions, aiding in management and accountability.
    • The Functional Assessment Scale (FAS) effectively measures disability severity, progress, and outcomes.
    • Quarterly reports facilitate pattern analysis and demonstrate objective achievement.

    Conclusions:

    • The program evaluation system enhances patient care management and accountability.
    • The FAS is a valuable tool for assessing patient function, guiding treatment, and determining discharge needs.
    • The system integrates seamlessly with existing healthcare operations, including quality assurance.
