^*Results derived from multivariate logistic regression that tests the effect of QI adherence on functional decline and adjusts for average VES-13 Score, Charlson Score, interaction between quality indicator adherence and VES-13 score, number of baseline ADL limitations, DNR/DNI status, log length of stay, number of Quality Indicators triggered, demographic characteristics (age, race, gender), and clustered for attending subject

^‡Functional Decline defined as the emergence of one or more new deficits in Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) in time period one month before admission to one month after discharge

^§Catastrophic Functional Decline defined as the emergence of deficits in 3 or more ADLs in a given time period
