Study Notes
The 5Ms Framework and CGA
- The 5Ms offer a structured approach to personalize Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA).
- Patient rehabilitation goals should focus on what matters most to the patient, considering input from the multidisciplinary team (MDT).
- SMART criteria (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Timebound) are useful for formulating rehabilitation goals.
- Example of a SMART goal: Patient aims to mobilize 50 meters using a rollator within 2 weeks, prioritizing independence at home and in the garden.
International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF)
- The ICF provides a framework for defining and measuring health and disability.
- Constructs defined in ICF:
- Capacity: What an individual can do in a standardized environment.
- Performance: What an individual actually does in their current environment.
- Measurement tools associated with ICF include the Functional Independence Measure (FIM) and the Functional Assessment Measure (FAM).
Functional Independence Measure (FIM) and FIM+FAM
- FIM is an 18-item scale assessing disability, with scores ranging from 1 (complete dependence) to 7 (complete independence).
- FAM complements FIM by adding 12 items focused on cognitive and psychosocial functions, specifically for brain injury patients.
Levels of Assistance
- Total Assistance: Patient does <25% of the task.
- Moderate Assistance: Patient performs 50-74% of the task with help.
- Minimal Assistance: Patient performs ≥75% of the task, needing only incidental help.
- Supervision/Set-Up: Patient requires cues or set-up assistance without physical contact.
- Modified Independence: Patient uses assistive devices or needs more time but maintains safety.
- Complete Independence: Patient performs all tasks independently and safely within reasonable time.
Measuring Support Needs
- Assessing support needs of patients requires a multidisciplinary approach.
- The Rehabilitation Complexity Scale—Extended (RCS-E) evaluates the complexity of rehabilitation in severe brain injury, addressing care, cognitive, medical, therapy, and equipment needs.
Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) Overview
- CGA involves holistic assessment, care planning, service delivery, and ongoing monitoring, focusing on four domains: physical, psychological, functional, and social.
- Initiate CGA when an older individual shows signs of frailty, using validated assessment tools.
- CGA serves as a critical diagnostic tool in various settings, including emergency departments.
Integrated Care for Older People
- Integrated care aims to provide planned and coordinated services for older individuals with complex needs, moving care from hospitals to community settings.
- Effective implementation requires governance to support service development and new operational methods.
- The focus is on maintaining older individuals' functional ability and intrinsic capacity for independent living.
- WHO ICOPE outlines integrated care pathways for managing priority conditions related to intrinsic capacity loss, emphasizing initial community screening and comprehensive assessments.
