§ This webinar will explore recent research surrounding

physical rehabilitation (PR) in LTC by:

§ 1) Describing what is known about:

§ a) tools to determine who should receive PR services § b) which PR services have been evaluated § c) how they have been evaluated at the resident-, facility-, and system-level

§ 2) Describing the relationship between PR and facility-level

activity of daily living and falls quality indicators

§ 3) Describing the impact of the 2013 funding change in

Ontario LTC homes in 2013 on activities of daily living and falls quality indicators

Background: the aging population and long-term care

§ 7.1% of the Canadian population over the age of 65

resides in long-term care (LTC) homes

§ this number is projected to double within the next 20 years1

§ 95% of residents require at least some assistance

with activities of daily living (ADLs)

§ more than 80% required extensive care2

slide-4
SLIDE 4

§ Physical rehabilitation (PR) can prevent further decline § Often limited by significant financial and political

constraints

§ Leadership is required to plan, deliver and evaluate

services in LTC

Background: physical rehabilitation

slide-5
SLIDE 5

Background: what is known and unknown about physical rehabilitation in LTC

§ Lack of evidence surrounding PR interventions, considerable heterogeneity in the models of delivery, staff providing, time allocated to and goals of PR interventions.5 § An overabundance of constructs has been used to evaluate PR at the resident-level (e.g., ADLs, falls, mood)5 § broad understanding of what PR interventions have been evaluated in the literature § both active and passive modalities § full spectrum of professionals who could be involved in delivering services § Which specific facility- or system-level measures (quality indicators – QIs) could be used to evaluate PR in LTC? § Few resident receive services3, receipt of services not always related to need4, significant room for improvement4 § How can we identify which residents would benefit from rehabilitation?

Background: policy change 2013

§ Budget base program

§ LTC home receive block funds per bed per year

§ Strict eligibility criteria

§ Discharge once therapeutic goals met

§ Additional per diem for exercise classes

§ Fee for service billed directly

to OHIP

§ At the discretion of the

physical therapist, with referral from physician

A scoping review of physical rehabilitation interventions,

  • utcomes and tools for eligibility in LTC

Research Question 2: Which outcomes have been used to evaluate them? Research Question 1: What are the characteristics of PR interventions that have been evaluated in LTC? Research Question 3: Which tools exist for decision-making around who is eligible for PR services?

Evidence from scoping review Key points for researchers

  • 23.4% of studies included only ambulatory

residents, with very few specifically including non

  • ambulatory or bedridden, 16.3% included

residents with evidence of dementia, 27.3% excluded medically acute

  • Include residents who are reflective of those

currently in LTC (e.g., with cognitive impairment, medically complex)

  • Frequently delivered by research staff, or

physical therapist 3 - 5 days per week, 25 - 50 minutes, 10 - 18 weeks

  • Explore realistic and sustainable interventions

(e.g., multidisciplinary integrated models of care)

  • Length of stay often not distinguished

inclusion/exclusion criteria

  • Examine short -

stay models of care (e.g., convalescent care)

  • 27.3% excluded medically acute, mood and

quality of life less frequently used as outcome measures

  • Explore and evaluate palliative models of care

including rehabilitation (e.g., relief from pain and other symptoms, active life until death)

  • Majority of outcomes reported at the resident
  • level
  • Analyze effects of rehabilitation interventions

at facility - and system - levels (e.g., use quality indicators, healthcare transitions)

  • No validated tools for determining service

eligibility were found

  • Develop tools for determining who could

receive services

Quality indicators (QIs):

§ facility-level measures that are used internationally to capture the structure,

process and outcomes within and between LTC homes.

§ Often publicly reported to encourage consumers to make informed decisions

around the quality of service providers and to stimulate internal quality improvement strategies within LTC homes

§ Can be used to:

§ guide clinical decision making § evaluate and report treatment effectiveness § benchmark achievements § guide and evaluate quality improvement initiatives and strategic planning § implement guideline recommendations § inform policy § set national benchmarks § determine resource allocation9

Results – literature review

QIs reported:

  • Decline in late loss ADLs (bed mobility and eating) - 2
  • Little or no activity, prevalence of bedridden residents - 2
  • Bowel/bladder incontinence – 2
  • Improvement in mid-loss ADLs (walk/wheel and transfer) - 1
  • If a functional assessment had been completed - 1

QIs appeared to be related to rehab:

  • Decreased range of motion
  • Lower prevalence of bedridden residents and residents with little or no activity
  • Unplanned feed tube placement

Evidence to support use:

  • Limited – 3 reported source of data derivation, 1 reported involvement of

consensus process, 1 reported prevalence and variation, none reported sensitivity or timeframe for change

provinces

  • 2. To determine the relationship between

PR and facility-level ADLs and falls QIs within LTC homes across four Canadian provinces and one territory

  • Cumulative proportional odds models,

stratified by province

  • covariates significant at p < 0.2 were added

to the multivariable regression

  • Variables were retained within the final

multivariable model at p <0.01

Conclusions

§ Over time in Ontario, QIs measuring ADL improvement are

getting worse, but prevention of ADL decline are getting better

§ After the 2013 policy change fewer residents received PT

§ The policy change appears to be associated with improved

performance on several ADL QIs

§ Except least time intense PT was associated with poorer performance on two of

the ADL QIs

slide-44
SLIDE 44

Overall conclusions

§ intervention trials often include unrealistic residents § few studies have examined QIs in relation to rehab § QIs vary widely across provinces § no consistent relationship with rehab

§ except for certain areas

§ After 2013 policy change:

§ Fewer residents receiving PT overall § associated with improved performance on several ADL QIs, but worse on two

QIs

slide-45
SLIDE 45

Limitations

§ Resident voice § Breadth rather than depth § Ecological fallacy § Only capture PT provided in the last 7 days § Indirect care not gathered

slide-46
SLIDE 46

§ Develop definition of quality rehabilitation in LTC § Explore resident goals for rehab § Future interventions should:

§ Include residents who are complex § Be realistic and sustainable § Sufficiently intense § Targeted appropriately § Embed elements of rehabilitation into daily practice

§ Examine provinces/homes with superior QI performance § Develop tools to determine service eligibility to appropriately target rehab § Ensure rehab data is entered accurately into RAI 2.0
