A Multi-Outcome Prognostic Model for Community-Dwelling Older Adults Admitted to Skilled Nursing Facilities for Post-Acute Care

Nearly 20% of hospitalized older adults are discharged to a skilled nursing facility (SNF) for short-term rehabilitation. Many subsequently experience adverse outcomes, such as hospital readmissions, transitioning to long-term care rather than returning home, or death. To guide shared decision making, we developed a prognostic model for multiple outcomes for older adults admitted to SNFs.
