Official title
Joint Replacement Outcome in Inpatient Rehabilitation Facilities and Nursing Treatment Sites
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
1. What are the characteristics of joint replacement patients (DRGs 209 \& 210) served in IRFs and SNFs? How are they similar or different? 2. How are the interventions and processes of care for joint replacement patients different in IRFs and SNFs? 3. What specific interventions or combinations of interventions in IRFs and SNFs make the biggest difference in outcomes for joint replacement patients taking into account patient differences? 4. Which joint replacement patients do better in an IRF and which do better in a SNF? 5. What is the relative cost-effectiveness of IRF and SNF care for joint replacement patients? 6. Are comorbidities among joint replacement patients an adequate indicator of additional medical need during the rehabilitation process? Can a severity-of-illness measure serve as a better indicator of medical need? Are patients with greater medical needs served better in an IRF or a SNF? 7. Can we design a more efficient course of rehabilitation interventions for joint replacement patients in IRFs and SNFs to reduce the length of stay and costs?
