Note: The mean concordance score for overall care plan is an average of individual concordance scores across each of the eight care plan elements: Haberle recovery goal, main reason for hospitalization, tests scheduled, procedures scheduled, medications changed, consults planned, time of discharge, and discussion with patient or clinician. p -values in bold are statistically significant.
a
The choices for the Haberle recovery goal are: “be cured,” “live longer,” “improve health or maintain health,” “be comfortable,” “accomplish a particular life goal,” or “other.”
b
Adjusted for care unit length of stay.
