Assessing Clinically Important Differences During Rehabilitation for Stroke: A Pilot Study Evaluating Anchor and Distribution Derived Estimates of Physical Function Change in Classically Summed and Rasch Models of Section GG of the Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility Patient Assessment Instrument.

Objective: To determine clinically important differences (CIDs) on Section GG physical functioning scores on the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility Assessment Instrument (IRF-PAI) for patients with stroke, using anchor and distribution-based approaches.

Design: Pilot prospective observational cohort study.

Setting: Inpatient rehabilitation facility.

Goal-Oriented and Habit-Oriented Reflective Models to Support Professional Identity Formation and Metacognitive Thinking.

Unlabelled: Professional identity formation (PIF) is a multi-year, complex, social, and intellectual process that culminates in trainees "thinking, acting, and feeling like a doctor." Some of the processes of PIF, particularly the Hidden Curriculum, may result in suboptimal outcomes in student's cognition, including implicit bias and poor clinical decision-making. Many have recognized the importance of reflective writing, particularly metacognition, in undergraduate medical education.

Mobile technologies to support workplace-based assessment for entrustment decisions: Guidelines for programs and educators: AMEE Guide No. 154.

With the rise of competency-based medical education and workplace-based assessment (WBA) since the turn of the century, much has been written about methods of assessment. Direct observation and other sources of information have become standard in many clinical programs. Entrustable professional activities (EPAs) have also become a central focus of assessment in the clinical workplace.

Effects of an acute care brain injury medicine continuity consultation service on health care utilization and rehabilitation outcomes.

Introduction: Although general physiatry acute-care consultation services are commonplace and improve length of stay (LOS), the benefits of a subspecialty physiatric continuity consultation service targeting patients with severe brain injury have not been reported.

Objectives: Our primary objective was to characterize patient care recommendations from a Brain Injury Medicine (BIM) Continuity Consult Service, and to investigate the effects on acute-care LOS relative to brain injury patients receiving General Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation (PM&R) Consult Services. Our secondary objectives were to examine inpatient rehabilitation (IPR) health care utilization metrics and costs between groups and evaluate clinical improvements during IPR and discharge disposition.
