Advice
  • Use results, in combination with clinical judgment, consultant recommendations, and shared decision-making, to: 
    • Guide rehabilitation planning, including physical, occupational, and speech therapy.
    • Assist in disposition decisions (e.g., home with services, rehabilitation center, skilled nursing facility) and case management needs.
    • Inform discussions with patients and families about care needs.
  • A patient’s degree of disability can change over time; consider reassessing periodically or when there are changes in clinical status.
