Designing and Implementing a System for Tracking Functional Status After Stroke: A Feasibility Study

Conclusions: This study demonstrates the feasibility of implementing a single functional outcome instrument in clinical and community settings to measure rehabilitation functional outcomes of stroke patients. Integrating the AM-PAC measurement system into clinical workflows and the electronic medical record could provide assistance to clinicians for medical decision making, functional prognostication, and discharge planning.
