3 Introduction Rehabilitation is concerned with the diagnosis, evaluation and treatment of persons with limited function as a consequence of disease, injury, impairment and/or disorder AROC was formed in July 2002 with its principle objective being the collection of data against each and every rehabilitation episode provided in Australasian rehabilitation facilities AROC is auspiced by the AFRM, and operated within the Centre for Health Service Development at the University of Wollongong The AROC database now contains data describing more than 250,000 episodes of rehabilitation, and is therefore a rich source of information

4 AROC Coverage There are approximately 140 rehabilitation units in Australia, 80 public sector and 60 private sector units 123 submitted data to AROC in the 2005 calendar year (66 public sector units, 57 private sector units) In 2005 data describing 44,813 episodes was submitted to AROC. Of these episodes almost 45% (~20,000) related to orthopaedic rehabilitation AROC provides analysis of each individual member facilities data for that member, and also compares that data to analysis of the overall sector (public or private), and to the national data.

5 Episodes by impairment group, Stroke Brain Neuro Spine Amputee Arthritits Pain Ortho Cardiac Pulmonary Burns Congenital Other MultTrauma Developmental Debility Percentag

6 Episodes by impairment group, by sector, Public Private Stroke Brain Neuro Spine Amputee Arthritits Pain Ortho Cardiac Pulmonary Burns Congenital Other MultTrauma Developmental Debility Percentag

7 Orthopaedic episodes as a percentage of all episodes, Percentage of all impairm

8 Outcomes in Rehabilitation The Functional Independence Measure (FIM) is the most commonly used tool for the assessment of function in rehabilitation Function of a patient is assessed at admission and at discharge The difference between these two scores is called the FIM change and measures the degree of functional improvement achieved by the rehabilitation program FIM Change can then be divided by LOS to give FIM efficiency Discharge destination is another important outcome ideally a patient should be able to return to their previous form of accommodation, most often home

9 Outcomes in Rehabilitation Outcomes in rehabilitation cannot be measured by any single measure. It is the combination of elements that tell the story Admission FIM FIM change LOS Discharge destination Age and co-morbidities also add context. Rehabilitation episodes are categorised by the AROC impairment code Episodes can also be categorised by AN-SNAP class, the sub-acute sector s version of casemix

10 AROC Impairment Codes - orthopaedic 8.11 Unilateral hip fracture 8.12 Bilateral hip fracture 8.2 Femur (shaft) fractur 8.3 Pelvis fracture 8.4 Major multiple fracture 8.51 Unilateral hip replacement 8.52 Bilateral hip replacement 8.61 Unilateral knee replacement 8.62 Bilateral hip replacement 8.71 Knee and hip replacements (same side) 8.72 Knee and hip replacements (different sides) 8.9 Other orthopaedic

11 AN-SNAP classes - orthopaedic Class 223 Orthopaedic conditions, motor Class 224 Orthopaedic conditions, motor Class 225 Orthopaedic conditions, motor Class 226 Orthopaedic conditions, motor 14-51

21 Orthopaedic Rehabilitation Outcomes by Category, by Sector, 2005

22 Indicator & outcome measures all orthopaedic Difference from National data Disch usual accom (%) FIM efficiency (per week) FIM change (adm to disch) FIM discharge score FIM admission score Length of stay (days) Age (years) Private Public Lower than National data Higher than National data Proportion of episodes (n=19,455)

23 Indicator & outcome measures hip fracture Difference from National data Disch usual accom (%) FIM efficiency (per week) FIM change (adm to disch) FIM discharge score FIM admission score Length of stay (days) Age (years) Private Public Lower than National data Higher than National data Proportion of episodes (n=2,813)

24 Indicator & outcome measures - femur, pelvis & multiple Difference from National data Disch usual accom (%) FIM efficiency/week FIM change FIM discharge FIM admission Length of stay Average age Private Public Lower than National data Higher than National data Proportion of episodes (n=1,922)

25 Indicator & outcome measures hip replacement Difference from National data Disch usual accom (%) FIM efficiency (per week) FIM change (adm to disch) FIM discharge score FIM admission score Length of stay (days) Age (years) Private Public Lower than National data Higher than National data Proportion of episodes (n=4,219)

26 Indicator & outcome measures knee replacement Difference from National data Disch usual accom (%) FIM efficiency (per week) FIM change (adm to disch) FIM discharge score FIM admission score Length of stay (days) Age (years) Private Public Lower than National data Higher than National data Proportion of episodes (n=4,674)

27 Indicator & outcome measures other orthopaedic Difference from National data Disch usual accom (%) FIM efficiency (per week) FIM change (adm to disch) FIM discharge score FIM admission score Length of stay (days) Age (years) Private Public Lower than National data Higher than National data Proportion of episodes (n=5,827)

28 But one could say that looking at the data by category is not fair, because it doesn t take into account degree of difficulty, or resource use so let s have a look at the same data by AN-SNAP class

29 Indicator & outcome measures - AN-SNAP class 226 Difference from National data Disch usual accom (%) FIM efficiency (per week) FIM change (adm to disch) FIM discharge score FIM admission score Length of stay (days) Age (years) Private Public Lower than National data Higher than National data Proportion of episodes (n=4,423)

30 Indicator & outcome measures - AN-SNAP class 225 Difference from National data Disch usual accom (%) FIM efficiency (per week) FIM change (adm to disch) FIM discharge score FIM admission score Length of stay (days) Age (years) Private Public Lower than National data Higher than National data Proportion of episodes (n=2,702)

31 Indicator & outcome measures - AN-SNAP class 224 Difference from National data Disch usual accom (%) FIM efficiency (per week) FIM change (adm to disch) FIM discharge score FIM admission score Length of stay (days) Age (years) Private Public Lower than National data Higher than National data Proportion of episodes (n=8,818)

32 Indicator & outcome measures - AN-SNAP class 223 Difference from National data Disch usual accom (%) FIM efficiency (per week) FIM change (adm to disch) FIM discharge score FIM admission score Length of stay (days) Age (years) Private Public Lower than National data Higher than National data Proportion of episodes (n=3,376)

33 Overall Observations The unadjusted data shows that: LOS is usually longer in the public sector but patients are usually older (except for hip fractures) and have lower FIM admission scores (? influence of funding models) FIM change achieved is greater in the public sector.. in all but non-hip fractures Private sector achieves a slightly higher FIM efficiency Private sector also discharges to home more frequently Interestingly, when the data is casemix adjusted the story does not change very much: LOS is still longer in the public sector, but patients are still older and have lower FIM admission scores However, FIM change achieved is now greater in the private sector FIM efficiency still higher in the private sector Percentage patients discharged to home also still greater in the private sector
