Cost modelling rehabilitation in the home for reconditioning in the Australian context

Table 2 Estimated potential utilisation of RITH by AN-SNAP class (n = 21 participants)

^aActivity-based funding for admitted subacute care services in public hospitals is determined using the Australian National Subacute and Non-Acute Patient classification (AN-SNAP). The code 4AR is the general code that refers to patients requiring reconditioning. An AN-SNAP reconditioning class is assigned to a patient on admission to a rehabilitation program. The AN-SNAP reconditioning class is based on patient function, as follows [4]:
4AR1 Reconditioning, weighted Functional Independence Measure (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
