Article Synopsis
- - Appropriate use of inpatient physical therapy can help prevent hospital-associated disability (HAD), and a study evaluated the potential overutilization of these services using the Activity Measure-Post Acute Care (AM-PAC) score.
- - The study, involving 3,592 admissions with an average age of 66, found that 38% of physical therapy consults were potentially unnecessary, especially among younger patients under 65.
- - Patients with higher mobility scores had a significantly greater chance (5.38 times) of being discharged to home, suggesting that better management of therapy consults could benefit both patient outcomes and healthcare efficiency.
