About this study
Official title: Optimizing Function and Independence Through STRIDE (QUE 16-170)
Optimizing Function and Independence Through STRIDE aims to implement the STRIDE inpatient hospital mobility program at 8 VAMC sites in a stepped-wedge design and evaluate patient outcomes before and after the program is implemented, as well as the efficacy of a usual vs enhanced implementation design.
Read the detailed description
Background/Purpose. A key contributor to hospital-associated disability is immobility during hospitalization. While fewer than 5% of patients have physician orders for bed rest, hospitalized older adults spend only 3% of their time standing or walking. The hazards of immobility in the hospital have been recognized for more than two decades, but there are currently no VA-system wide approaches to address this important gap in clinical care.
STRIDE is a supervised inpatient walking program developed by an interdisciplinary team of investigators, clinicians and administrators at the Durham VA and funded by the VHA Office of GEC. STRIDE consists of a one-time gait and balance assessment conducted by a physical therapist, followed by daily supervised walks by a recreation therapy assistant for the duration of the hospital stay. Program evaluation has demonstrated high satisfaction among Veteran participants and reduced need for post-acute institutional care. As a result, the Durham VAMC funded STRIDE as a permanent program that currently serves over 650 Veterans annually, and the VHA Office of GEC funded a dissemination grant to launch the program at another medical center. The investigators' initial experience with STRIDE implementation suggests interprofessional relationships and team dynamics are key determinants to the success of a new hospital-based clinical program that requires collaborative processes involving multiple disciplines.
As part of the investigators' Optimizing Function and Independence QUERI, the investigators plan to implement the STRIDE clinical program at 8 VAMC sites in a stepped-wedge design with sites randomized to implementation strategy and start date.
Objectives. The investigators plan to conduct an evaluation to examine the impact of STRIDE on patient outcomes.
Key questions: Do STRIDE participants have fewer discharges to skilled nursing facilities and shorter lengths of stay? Do STRIDE participants have better physical function and higher health-related quality of life at 30 days post-discharge? What is the value of STRIDE from the Veteran's perspective? The investigators also plan to conduct a mixed method evaluation that examines implementation outcomes and provider team experience that will not be reported here.
Methodology. The investigators will compare patients discharged from sites before and after the STRIDE program is implemented to assess discharge to skilled nursing facilities and length of stay (approx. n=2000). A subset of patients participating in the STRIDE program and a comparison group will be surveyed 30 days post-hospital discharge to assess outcomes including health status, physical function, and quality of life. A subset of patients will be interviewed one week post-discharge to gain feedback about the STRIDE program and perceived benefits of a hospital inpatient mobility program.
In 2023, the following updates were made after results were initially uploaded to clinical trials as follows: primary outcome description and results were modified to reflect discharge to skilled nursing facility versus discharge to home and modifications were made to the sample and discharge to skilled nursing home and length of stay outcomes due to receipt of more complete data sources for use to determine eligibility and to assess the primary outcome.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Proportion of Patients Discharged to Skilled Nursing Facility
Discharge to skilled nursing facility (versus home) will be assessed via administrative data pulls and chart review (not patient report).
Measured: Assessed at hospital discharge, an average of 7 days
Hospital Length of Stay (Days)
Hospital length of stay will be assessed via administrative data pulls (not patient report)
Measured: Assessed at hospital discharge, an average of 7 days
Secondary outcomes (7)
Patient Physical Function - Disability
Analysis of physical function will be measured by the Late Life Function and Disability Instrument (LL-FDI) - Disability Component. Raw scores transformed to scaled scores ranging from 0-100, with higher scores reflecting higher functioning.
Measured: 30 days following hospital discharge, hospital stay an average of 6 days
Patient Physical Function - Limitations
Analysis of physical function will be measured by the Late Life Function and Disability Instrument (LL-FDI) - Limitations Component -Instrumental Role Domain. Raw scores transformed to scaled scores ranging from 0-100, with higher scores reflecting higher functioning.
Measured: 30 days following hospital discharge, hospital stay an average of 6 days
Patient Physical Function
Analysis of physical function will be measured by the Late Life Function and Disability Instrument (LL-FDI) - Function Component - Basic Lower Extremity Functioning Domain. Raw scores transformed to scaled scores ranging from 0-100, with higher scores reflecting higher functioning.
Measured: 30 days following hospital discharge, hospital stay an average of 6 days
Proportion Highly Satisfied With Care
Analysis of satisfaction with care will be measured with the Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS)-based item "Would you recommend this hospital to other Veterans if they needed care for a condition such as yours?" Responses were categorized into two categories: highly satisfied (responses of "Definitely Yes") and less satisfied (responses of "Probably Yes", "Probably No", and "Definitely No").
Measured: 30 days following hospital discharge, hospital stay an average of 6 days
Health Utility
Analysis of health utility, a health-related quality of life measure, will be assessed with the ICEpop CAPability measure for adults (ICECAP-A). Tariff values for an overall state are calculated by summing the values across the individual attributes (Feeling settled and secure; Love, friendship and support; Being independent; Achievement and progress; and Enjoyment and pleasure). Tariff values can range from 0 to 1, with higher values reflecting greater quality of life.
Measured: 30 days following hospital discharge, hospital stay an average of 6 days
Health-related Quality of Life
Analysis of health-related quality of life will be measured by the Euroqol (EQ-5D). Response profiles are mapped to a score via a crosswalk. Scores range from -0.109 to 1.0, with higher scores reflecting a higher quality of life.
Measured: 30 days following hospital discharge, hospital stay an average of 6 days
Mobility in the Environment
Analysis of mobility in the environment will be assessed by the Life Space Questionnaire. The composite score incorporates use of equipment, need for personal help, and frequency of movement. Scores range from 0-120 with higher scores reflecting greater mobility.
Measured: 30 days following hospital discharge, hospital stay an average of 6 days
