| The KATZ Index of Independence in ''Activities of Daily Living'' commonly referred to as the '''Katz ADL''', is collected on all patients accepted to the Medicine service.
| | #redirect:[[ADL General Collection Information]] |
| *KATZ ADL is used to assess functional status as a measurement of a patient's ability to perform activities of daily living independently.
| | convenience redirect |
| *KATZ ADL ranks adequacy of performance in the six functions of bathing, dressing, toileting, transferring, continence and feeding.
| | [[Category:ADL]] |
| *Adequacy of performance scoring: Unassisted (Independant) (0 points), Minor assistance (3 points), Major Assistance (6 points).
| |
| *The ADL is also being used as a component of the "MOST" Score (Medical Outcome Strafitication and Triage". [[MOST]] is a locally tested and validated risk stratification assessment which is made at the time of acceptance to Medicine Service).
| |
| | |
| | |
| It is not the question if a patient is not allowed to perform an activity, or if there are no facilities for the patient to be independent. If patient would be able to do the activity, they should be scored as "unassisted".
| |
| | |
| == General Considerations ==
| |
| * ADL - assess functional status during the '''first 24 hours''' once accepted to medicine service.[[User:TOstryzniuk|TOstryzniuk]] 17:31, 20 June 2008 (CDT) & Dan Roberts
| |
| | |
| *NOTE: ADL assesses a patient "capability" to perform a certain activity if allowed. A patient who is order by a physician or restricted by hospital policy not to do a certain activity should not be assessed as physically disabled.
| |
| | |
| | |
| == '''Bathing''' ==
| |
| Either sponge bath, tub bath or shower.
| |
| | |

| |
| | |
| *NOTE: if there is a hospital policy that restricts a patient to bed rest, thought patient may be able to go to the bathroom on his own if allowed, document this as unassisted.
| |
| | |

| | |
| == '''Continence''' ==
| |
| === Unassisted ===
| |
| * controls urination and bowel movement completely by self.
| |
| **Chronic Renal Failure (CRF) receiving regular dialysis- if patient can access and use a toilet by themselves and can control bowel function - unassisted.
| |
| **If patient manages foley at home on his own - unassisted
| |
| **If foley is inserted to keep track of fluid output - unassisted
| |
| | |
| === Minor ===
| |
| * has occasional "accidents"
| |
| ===Major===
| |
| * supervision helps keep urine or bowel control; catheter is used, or is incontinent
| |
| *if foley inserted because patient is unable to control bladder funtion - Major assistance.
| |
| | |
| === Discussion ===
| |
| * does the use of a foley from home or within the first 24 hours qualify as Dependant. The KATZ states "Dependant as assistance; incontinent or cathether used (as with the use of a foley).
| |
| **If patient manages foley at home on his own - unassisted
| |
| **If foley is inserted to keep track of fluid output - unassisted
| |
| **If foley inserted because patient is unable to control urination - Major assistance.[[User:TOstryzniuk|TOstryzniuk]] 17:51, 20 June 2008 (CDT)& Dan Roberts.
| |
| | |
| ==Feeding ==

| |
| *E.G. Dysphagia[[User:TOstryzniuk|TOstryzniuk]] 17:59, 20 June 2008 (CDT)
| |
| | |
| ===Discussion===
| |
| * when a person arrives to the unit within the first 24 hours '''NPO''' either for a test or for GI Bleed does this qualify as Dependant? The KATZ says 'Dependant is assistance to eat; does not eat (I interpret this to include NPO); must be fed; fed partly or completely by NG or IV.
| |
| | |
| **NO - ADL assesses a patient "capability" to perform a certain activity if allowed. A patient who is order by a physician or restricted by hospital policy not to do a certain activity should '''not''' be assessed as physically disabled. This includes NPO due to PRE-OP, Test or GI bleeding. If the patient was allowed to each he could. [[User:TOstryzniuk|TOstryzniuk]] 17:57, 20 June 2008 (CDT)

| | |
| == Discussion ==
| |
| * we want to get back to the way it was done before the confusion of instructions.
| |
| Current
| |
| * Grace: gets what they can off ER sheet, then use ward records
| |
| * Vic: go through ER, then as close as possible on Ward, OT/PT does good job usually within 24hr (MOST patients are assessed). Lots of nursing home placements are why this is done
| |
| * StB: ER assessment for falls assessment / risk sheet / prevention program; sometimes filled by ward nurses, then you have physio and OT and home care, latter usually for elderly patients only.
| |
| | |
| | |
| * what values are used
| |
| ** Worst in some locations
| |
| ** most likely accurate in other location
| |
| ** some use pre-admission ADL, some use ony after WARD admission
| |
| ** "how they are normally"
| |
| ** some changed from "usual" pre-2007 to "worst" after
| |
| ** sedated patient is coded as if they were unassisted
| |
| ---
| |
| Dr. Roberts says:
| |
| Code what they are like within the first 24 hr after admission. In cases where the current ADL is induced solely by medical intervention, consider ADL if we did not intervene.
| |
| * NPO before procedure = unassisted
| |
| * NPO due to pt aphasic = major
| |
| * Foley to measure output = unassisted
| |
| * Foley because unable to self-serve = major
| |

| | |
| Example: changes via a stroke.
