Abstract
Formal standardized assessment of rehabilitation needs was feasible in this pilot project. Patients' sociodemographic characteristics, premorbid function, and ADL impairment discriminated better between discharge home and institution-based rehabilitation than between IRF and SNF. Selection of IRF versus SNF appears to be influenced either by unmeasured clinical characteristics of individuals with stroke or by nonclinical factors, such as cost, geography, referral relationships, or IRF availability.
