  2. burlingame email • All of health care is computerizing its documentation systems which has allowed the calculations of outcomes on a system wide (national) basis. If recreational therapists do not start filling out the interdisciplinary assessments for the areas that are within our scope of practice, you are right, we will die a slow and painful death. However, there are many parts of these computerized interdisciplinary tools that are within our standard scope of practice. We used to say if it wasn’t written, it didn’t happen. Now, if it was not entered into these few interdisciplinary documents, it did not happen, even if we write it down in the electronic or paper charts.

  3. Interdisciplinary Assessments • WHO – ICF (Next) • RAI/MDS (Nursing homes, today) • IRF-PAI (Rehab facilities, today) • FIM • Still need specific discipline assessments

  11. RAI/MDS (cont.) • Perspective Payment System (PPS) • Not actual cost of care • Average cost for all residents in same RUGS III category • Based on particular part of country • Payment based on how MDS filled out

  12. FIM • Functional Independence Measure • Used in rehabilitation • Basic indicator of severity of disability • Can be administered quickly • Can be administered to groups • Discipline free

  13. FIM (cont.) • 7 level scale • Dependence to independence • Ability to carry out activities independently • What usually does not what could do or what performed once • If difference in environments, use lowest score • Do not leave any area blank
