Developing a model for rehabilitation in the home as hospital substitution for patients requiring reconditioning: a Delphi survey in Australia

Table 5 Participant estimates of RITH utilisation by AN-SNAP class^a

AN-SNAP (Version 4) class^b	What percentage of reconditioning patients in the following AN-SNAP classes do you think are likely to be suitable for RITH?		What percentage of suitable reconditioning patients would you expect to actually want to take part in a RITH program if one were available?
	Median %	IQR	Median %	IQR
4AR1	74.0	39.0	80.0	30.0
4AR2	65.0	25.0	74.0	35.5
4AR3	41.0	31.5	53.0	31.5
4AR4	50.0	45.0	54.0	41.5
4AR5	30.0	42.0	36.0	47.0
4AR6	11.0	36.0	20.0	47.0

^aParticipant estimates of percentage of patients likely to be suitable for RITH by AN-SNAP class, and participant estimates of the percentage of likely suitable patients who may want to take part in RITH. Median scores and interquartile range (IQR), n = 21 participants
^bThe Australian National Subacute and Non-Acute Patient classification (AN-SNAP) is used to determine activity-based funding for admitted subacute care services in public hospitals. The general code 4AR refers to patients requiring reconditioning. Patients are assigned AN-SNAP reconditioning classes on admission to rehabilitation programs. These classes are based on different levels of patient function as shown below (24):
4AR1 Reconditioning, weighted FIM motor 67‐91
4AR2 Reconditioning, weighted FIM motor 50‐66, FIM cognition 26‐35
4AR3 Reconditioning, weighted FIM motor 50‐66, FIM cognition 5‐ 25
4AR4 Reconditioning, weighted FIM motor 34‐49, FIM cognition 31‐35
4AR5 Reconditioning, weighted FIM motor 34‐49, FIM cognition 5‐ 30
4AR6 Reconditioning, weighted FIM motor 19‐33
