Program Evaluation/Quality Assurance

• Becoming more popular and necessary as the healthcare climate changes.

• Used to determine effectiveness of programs Do people get better (more independent).

• Determine cost-effectiveness of programs.• Goal is to streamline treatment and still

achieve results.• Outcomes measurement also gives patients

an idea of how their tx. should progress.• Program evaluation - system a hospital or

rehab program uses to determine their outcomes. (talk about later- skipped slide

Ultimate plan for rehab is?

• DISCHARGE– Discharge planning starts at

admission
