Ability of the Functional Assessment in Acute Care Multidimensional Computerized Adaptive Test (FAMCAT) to Predict Discharge to Institutional Postacute Care.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To characterize the ability of the patient-reported Functional Assessment in Acute Care Multidimensional Computerized Adaptive Test (FAMCAT) domains to predict discharge disposition when administered during acute care stays.

Design

Cohort study. Logistic regression models were estimated to identify the ability of FAMCAT domains to predict discharge to an institution for postacute care (PAC).

Setting

Academic medical center.

Participants

Patients admitted to general medicine services from June 2016 to June 2019 (n = 4240).

Interventions

Not applicable.

Main outcome measure(s)

Discharge to an institution.

Results

In this sample, 10.5% of patients were discharged to an institution for rehabilitation versus home. FAMCAT domain scores
