What mobility factors are critical to include in a comprehensive mobility discharge assessment framework for older adults transitioning from hospital-to-home in the community? An international e-Delphi study.

An interdisciplinary discharge rehabilitation team can utilize the COMDAF during hospital-to-home transition.Implications for rehabilitationMobility assessment following a hospital discharge is a complex process requiring an interdisciplinary discharge rehabilitation team.This study provided a comprehensive list of 91 factors across all seven mobility determinants (cognitive, environmental, financial, personal, physical, psychological, and social) for clinicians in other care settings to use as a starting point to determine which mobility factor should be assessed during older adults' hospital-to-home transition.This international e-Delphi study identified 43 factors within mobility determinants (cognitive, environmental, personal, physical, psychological, and social) to be included in a Comprehensive Mobility Discharge Assessment Framework to assess older adults' mobility during the hospital to home transition.Using these 43 factors, clinicians can identify which assessment tool is best suited to assess the factors while reflecting on the logistics and feasibility; this is the next phase of this project.
