The Improving Medicare Post-Acute Care Transformation Act of 2014 (IMPACT Act) requires the use of standardized functional assessment, known as Section GG, across post-acute settings. We examined response patterns of self-care and mobility items between Section GG and Functional independent Measure^®(FIM) at the inpatient rehabilitation facilities (IRFs) using 2017 Uniform Data System for Medical Rehabilitation (UDSMR) national data.

Learning Objectives:

To describe response patterns of Section GG for patients receiving care at the Inpatient Rehabilitation Facilities.
To compare similarities and difference of response patterns between Section GG and FIM at the Inpatient Rehabilitation Facilities.
To understand advantages and limitations of using Section GG at clinical settings.
