Higher is better. It means that a higher percentage of residents improved or remained independent in transferring and locomotion (mid-loss ADLs).
This indicator examines the percentage of residents who improved or remained independent in transferring and locomotion (mid-loss ADLs). It is calculated by dividing the number of residents whose mid-loss ADLs improved or who remained independent by the number of all residents (excluding comatose and end-of-life residents) with valid assessments within the applicable time period.
Unit of Analysis: Resident

Comments
The long-term care quality indicators use 4 rolling quarters of data for calculations in order to have a sufficient number of assessments for risk adjustment. Since residents are assessed on a quarterly basis, each resident can contribute to the indicator up to 4 times.
General criteria for public reporting of long-term care indictors in Your Health System are as follows:
Data for this indicator is also available in the Quick Stats product Profile of Residents in Residential and Hospital-Based Continuing Care, which includes province-/territory-level results for both the residential and hospital-based continuing care sectors.
