2 Background on Overview AROC FIM & AN-SNAP Rehabilitation outcome measures Profile of stroke rehabilitation episodes Stroke outcomes over five years stroke AN-SNAP classes sector (public v private) body involvement (left v right)

3 Background on the Australasian Rehabilitation Outcomes Centre (AROC)

4 What is AROC? AROC is a joint initiative of the Australian rehabilitation sector (providers, payers, regulators and consumers) The Australasian Faculty of Rehabilitation Medicine (AFRM) is the auspice body and data custodian The Centre for Health Service Development (CHSD is the data manager and responsible for everyday running of AROC AROC commenced 1 July 2002

5 AROC has five roles A national data bureau that receives and manages data on the performance of rehabilitation services in Australia. 2. The national benchmarking centre for medical rehabilitation.

6 3. The national certification centre for the Functional Independence Measures (FIM). 4. An education and training centre for the FIM and other rehabilitation outcome measures. 5. A research and development centre that develops research and development proposals and seeks external funding for its research agenda.

7 Background on the unctional Independence Measure and the AN-SNAP classification

8 unctional Independence Measure (FIM Adopted by the AFRM as the standard national measure of function functional status and outcomes in overnight setting functional status only in ambulatory setting Composed of 18 items 13 form the FIM motor sub-scale 5 form the FIM cognition sub-scale FIM is measured at both episode begin and episode end FIM scores range from 18 to 126 the higher the FIM score the greater the functionality of the patien

9 FIM motor sub-scale 13 items Eating Grooming Bathing Dressing Upper Body Dressing Lower Body Toileting Bladder Management Bowel Management Transfer - Bed/chair/wheelchair Transfer toilet Transfer tub/shower Walk/Wheelchair Stairs

10 FIM cognition sub-scale 5 items Comprehension Expression Social interaction Problem solving Memory

11 Scoring the FIM NO HELPER Score of 7 - Complete Independence Score of 6 - Modified Independence HELPER Score of 5 - Supervision or setup Score of 4 - Minimal assistance Score of 3 - Moderate assistance Score of 2 - Maximal assistance Score of 1 - Total assistance

12 What is AN-SNAP? AN-SNAP stands for: Australian National Sub-Acute and Non-Acute Patient Casemix Classification Similar to DRG used in acute care

13 Stroke AN-SNAP classes Stroke impairment group Admission FIM motor score Admission FIM cognition score Admission FIM motor score Admission FIM cognition score Admission FIM motor score Admission FIM motor score aged >= 75 years 208 Admission FIM motor score aged < 75 years

14 Background on rehabilitation outcome measures

15 Definition of rehabilitation Provided in a specialist rehabilitation unit; AND Provided by a multidisciplinary team under the clinical management of a consultant in rehabilitation medicine or equivalent; AND Provided for a person with an impairment and a disability and for whom there is reasonable expectation of functional gain; AND For whom the primary treatment goal is improvement in functional status

16 Rehabilitation Outcome Measures SHORT HIGH HIGH HIGH Length of stay (LOS) FIM change change in functional status per episode FIM end score minus FIM begin score FIM efficiency change in functional status per day FIM change / LOS Discharge destination proportion going home (private residence)

17 AROC data This presentation uses the established AROC data set, specifically focusing on all overnight episodes in the five years from 2000 to 2004 Version 2 data set implemented July 1 st 2004 data set available at Episodes were grouped into quarters, creating 20 time periods based on episode end date's year and quarter

33 Summary of FIM change - by class The severest strokes (lowest admission FIM), had the greatest functional gain as expected ceiling effect of the FIM score (maximum is 126) Over the five years the greatest increase in FIM change was 2.8 points in class 207, followed by 1.6 points in class 206

34 60 Change in Length of Stay by AN-SNAP class LOS Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q3 Quarter 2002-Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q4

35 Summary of LOS - by class Length of stay increased with severity of stroke as expected. The greatest change in LOS was an increase of 3.3 days in class 207 and a decrease of 1.9 days in class 206 There was no change in the other classes.

36 2.5 Change in FIM efficiency by AN-SNAP class 2.0 FIM efficiency Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q3 Quarter 2002-Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q4

37 Summary of FIM efficiency - by class Overall, class 206 had the highest FIM efficiency. Between 2000 and 2004 classes 206 and 207 had the greatest change in FIM efficiency (0.20 and 0.14 points per day, respectively)

38 35 Change in FIM score by sector (episode begin to end) FIM change Q Q Q3 Public 2000-Q Q1 Private 2001-Q Q Q Q Q Q Q4 Quarter 2003-Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q4

41 Summary of outcomes - by sector No difference in FIM change was found between the sectors, however the public sector had a significantly higher length of stay, resulting in a lower FIM efficiency

42 Summary of outcomes - by sector LOS initially increased in the public sector, the last 18 months saw LOS declined to 27.7 days. LOS in the private sector varied by a day or two either side of 27 days. FIM efficiency between 2000 and 2004 has increased slightly in the public sector, however it appears to be declining in the private sector.

43 In summary...

44 Stroke outcomes - key findings FIM change has increased 2 points driven by AN-SNAP class 207 (2.8 points) LOS has not changed AN-SNAP class 206 declined 2 days AN-SNAP class 207 increased 3 days FIM efficiency has improved 0.19 points / day AN-SNAP class 206 improved at a greater rate improvement is driven by the public sector

45 Strengths of AROC data Volume of data available Consistency of data collected AROC version 2 data set Training in the use of the FIM

46 Weaknesses of AROC data Not all facilities collect every data item in the version 2 data set - leading to missing data For stroke research need better reporting of time to onset first admission discharge destination
