Abstract

The pilot project has two aims: • To investigate the use of functional measures to improve explanation of length of stay. • Unbundling inpatient stay — to identify when patients are ready for postacute and rehabilitation by examining the relationship between clinical assessment of appropriate level of care and measures of physical and cognitive function.
