Description

Problem #1: Rehab lacks qualitative metrics for Key Performance Outcomes. Problem #2: Improving Rehab throughput/appropriate utilization would assist in decreasing LOS for the patient.

Aims: Improve TAT and Frequency to in turn improve Rate of DC to post-acute facility in turn to reduce LOS; reduce demand for services deemed unnecessary / see more of “right” patients; reduce demand for follow ups per therapist prescription (educate and train at time of evaluation); reduce Anchor Bias for Providers and Mid-Levels due to verbiage and highlighting of Anticipated DC disposition; and reduce delays in LOS due to IPR Recommendations.
