How is this derived
We collect the following components:
Scoring
The field is driven by S_ADLOptions table.
Performance of each of the activities is evaluated as unassisted (0 points), minor assistance (3 points), or major assistance (6 points).
Total ADL Score is the sum of points of all the six activities.
ADL is also part of the ALERT Scale.
Data Use
- ALERT Scale Calculation
- Reported quarterly
- Average
- Frequencies by Categories (e.g. 1-6, 7-12, 13-18, 19-24, 25-30, 31-36)
in CCMDB.accdb
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.
