An examination of the nature and characteristics of patients readmitted to acute care from inpatient brain injury rehabilitation.

Aim: To describe the nature of readmission to acute care and identify patient characteristics associated with avoidable readmission to acute care from inpatient brain injury rehabilitation.

Design: A retrospective cohort design.

Methods: Data prospectively documented between 1 January 2012 -31 December 2018 in local clinical and administrative database were used.

Predictors of unplanned readmission to acute care from inpatient brain injury rehabilitation.

Aims And Objectives: To identify the predictors of unplanned readmission to acute care (RTAC) from inpatient brain injury rehabilitation and to develop a risk prediction model.

Background: RTAC from inpatient rehabilitation is not uncommon. Individual rehabilitation patient populations require their own body of evidence regarding predictors of RTAC.

Predictors of Readmission to Acute Care from Inpatient Rehabilitation: An Integrative Review.

Readmission to acute care (RTAC) from inpatient rehabilitation can have negative consequences for individuals and associated financial costs are increasing. Consequently, preventing avoidable RTAC represents a target for improvement in quality of care. The aim of this integrative review was to identify predictors of RTAC from inpatient rehabilitation.

A comparison of patients managed in specialist versus non-specialist inpatient rehabilitation units in Australia.

To compare the rehabilitation of patients with brain and spinal cord injury in specialist rehabilitation units and non-specialist rehabilitation units in Australia over a 10-year period. A retrospective cohort study design was used. Epidemiological descriptive analysis was used to examine inpatient rehabilitation data held in the Australasian Rehabilitation Outcomes Centre Registry Database at four discrete time points: 2007, 2010, 2013 and 2016.

Examination of the dependency and complexity of patients admitted to in-patient rehabilitation in Australia.

Objective The aim of this study was to determine whether there has been a measurable change in the dependency and complexity of patients admitted to in-patient rehabilitation in Australia between 2007 and 2016. Methods A retrospective cohort study design was used to examine in-patient rehabilitation data held in the Australasian Rehabilitation Outcomes Centre Registry Database for the period 2007-16. Epidemiological descriptive analysis was used to examine datasets for difference between four discrete years (2007, 2010, 2013 and 2016).

Development of the Sydney Falls Risk Screening Tool in brain injury rehabilitation: A multisite prospective cohort study.

Aims And Objectives: To develop a falls risk screening tool (FRST) sensitive to the traumatic brain injury rehabilitation population.

Background: Falls are the most frequently recorded patient safety incident within the hospital context. The inpatient traumatic brain injury rehabilitation population is one particular population that has been identified as at high risk of falls.

An examination of patient characteristics that contribute to falls in the inpatient traumatic brain injury rehabilitation setting.

Purpose: To examine patient characteristics that contribute to falls in the inpatient traumatic brain injury (TBI) rehabilitation setting.

Method: A three-round modified Delphi technique that engaged a multidisciplinary panel of 11 health experts was used. Group median score and disagreement index were used to measure agreement between participants about patient characteristics that contribute to falls.

Predicting falls: considerations for screening tool selection vs. screening tool development.

Aims: This paper discusses considerations for falls risk screening tool selection vs. the need to develop new tools.

Background: Inpatient falls are a complex patient safety issue that represent a significant burden for the healthcare system.

The characteristics of falls in an inpatient traumatic brain injury rehabilitation setting.

Aims And Objectives: To describe the nature of falls in an inpatient traumatic brain injury rehabilitation setting.

Background: Falls are the most frequently recorded patient safety incident in the inpatient context. However, higher rates of falls are reported in rehabilitation settings compared to acute care settings.

A Case-control Study Examining the Characteristics of Patients who Fall in an Inpatient Traumatic Brain Injury Rehabilitation Setting.

Objective: The purpose of the study was to describe the characteristics of patients who fall in the inpatient traumatic brain injury (TBI) rehabilitation setting.

Setting: Specialized inpatient TBI rehabilitation unit.

Participants: Fifty-four patients with history of falls and 55 nonequivalent patients without history of falls.

Falls and fallers in traumatic brain injury (TBI) rehabilitation settings: an integrative review.

Purpose: To critically appraise the research literature on the nature of falls and fallers in traumatic brain injury (TBI) rehabilitation settings.

Method: An integrative review of the literature using thematic analysis was undertaken. Papers identified via a systematic search strategy were independently appraised by two reviewers.
