Cox Proportional Hazards Models of the Association of Rehabilitation Providers’ Post-SNF Prediction with a Failed SNF-to-Home Transition

	Unadjusted			Adjusted
	Hazard Ratio	95% CI*	P- Value	Hazard Ratio	95% CI*	P- Value
Medical Providers (Medical Doctor or Nurse Practitioner), Neutral or Negative Prediction (n=65)	1.44	0.49–4.25	0.512	0.57	0.12–2.77	0.487
Occupational Therapists, Neutral or Negative Prediction (n=81)	4.96	1.38–17.86	0.014	5.07	1.11–23.08	0.036
Physical Therapists, Neutral or Negative Prediction (n=77)	10.91	2.37–50.16	0.002	53.33	3.51–810.42	0.004
Social Workers, Neutral or Negative Prediction (n=51)	0.84	0.22–3.14	0.794	0.54	0.03–8.61	0.665

In the Cox Proportional Hazards Model our outcome, failed transition to home (dichotomized as “yes/no”), is defined as an SNF rehabilitation patient who was not discharged from the SNF, transitioned to SNF long-term care, readmitted to an SNF or a rehabilitation facility following discharge, had a prolonged hospitalization, became too ill to participate, or died during the course of our study.

Adjusted models included all of the sociodemographic and physical, mental, and social health covariates.
