• Description: Therapists and other healthcare practitioners have an increasingly complex role in discharge planning from acute care as hospital stays become shorter and 30 day readmission rates are more closely scrutinized.
• It is imperative that acute care therapists not only identify but also be able to quantify functional impairments and fall risk.
• Standardized testing in hospitals is complicated by the frailty of the patient population, management of multiple lines and medical issues, as well as time constraints.
