Aim:
To classify goals according to the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) and to examine factors associated with goal attainment for transition care program (TCP) clients.
Methods:
Recorded goals at admission were rated at discharge as achieved, partially achieved or not achieved. Two researchers independently linked each statement to the most closely corresponding ICF categories.
Results:
Of 268 TCP clients, 215 had 851 goal statements recorded. Of these, 794 (93%) statements were linked to 12 different ICF categories. A total of 515 (61.4%) were attained at discharge, 117 (14%) were partially attained and 207 (24.6%) were not attained. Multivariate analysis identified number of goals, TCP length of stay and high or very high case manager perception of goal attainment to be significant predictors for goal attainment.
Conclusions:
The ICF framework can be used to identify and structure clients' goals in transitional care. Goal attainment can be used to determine overall functional improvement.
