Course Description

Rehabilitation outcomes are complex and diverse requiring a comprehensive approach to develop clinical and research best practices. One reason for the complexity is that different levels of care have different measurement of outcomes. Measures such as the Glasgow Coma Scale, Glasgow Outcome Scale, and the Functional Independence Measure have been used for acute care documentation. At the post-hospital level, the Mayo Portland Adaptability Inventory-4 has been used to measure outcomes for a longer period of recovery. Reasons for different measurement types will be discussed, including the role of chronicity of injury, instrumental activities of daily living, and neurobehavioral impact. Diversity of outcomes may include individual vs. group measurement, qualitative and quantitative analysis, and function vs. disability / impairment. The purpose of this program is to provide information from experts in the field of neurological rehabilitation outcomes within various levels of the continuum of care. The course will review outcomes analyses, measurement selection, timing of outcome measurement, and managing data systems. Statistical approaches, including the use and application of RASCH analysis, will address research and clinical questions. In addition, meeting CARF standards for outcomes analyses will be discussed at length with suggestions provided for data presentation. Research and clinical methods are reviewed at length so that participants can delineate differences between quantitative and qualitative person-centered outcomes, group change, national trends, and international trends. Panel discussion will be held at the conclusion to review the various methods discussed with current research data from each of the presenting faculty. Research examples demonstrating the application from case studies to large comparative analyses will be provided and discussed in detail.

 

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Upon completion of the course, participants should be able to:

  1. Describe outcomes analyses for clinical and research best practices.
  2. Describe measurement selection and decision making depending upon the level of care being evaluated and statistical methods used.
  3. List components of database management when collecting large data sets such as storage and data transfer for statistics.
  4. Learn to apply outcomes to CARF standards of Effectiveness and Efficiency.
  5. Delineate differences between qualitative and quantitative results, person-centered, group, national and international outcomes and how this impacts the future of healthcare practices.
