In CCMDB the ADLs are stored as their full words rather than scores, e.g. "ADL_Bathing" might have a value of "unassisted". The values are entered via dropdown list, which is driven by the [[S_ADLOptions table]]. In that table there is a column "sorter" with numbers used to change the order the values appear in the dropdown list. The column is '''not''' a score and not used for anything beyond sorting.

ADL component scores

For each of the #ADL Components the individual component fields are stored as their full words rather than scores. s_ADLOptions table stores the corresponding scores used in the ADL score or the ALERT Scale as follows:

For criteria see the pages of the individual elements linked above
Option ADL_Score ALERT_Score Explanation
Major 6 6 major assistance
Minor 3 3 minor assistance
Unassisted 1 0 unassisted / independent

Deviation from Katz's definition

This deviates from the original scoring in Katz' paper:

  • they only used 2 options
  • they assigned the higher score to the unassisted

Combined ADL Score

The ADL Score is the sum of points of all the six activities.
