LiveSafe

LiveSafe is a leading-edge technology that allows the user to leverage the power of functional measurement with over ten years of rehabilitation and burden of care outcomes.

LiveSafe technology uses Item-Response Theory to objectively evaluate an individual's level of function. The user responds to assessment questions similar to the following:

• How much DIFFICULTY do you currently have standing up from an armless straight chair (e.g., dining room chair)?
• How much DIFFICULTY do you currently have moving from lying on your back to sitting on the side of the bed?
• How much DIFFICULTY do you currently have coping with unexpected daily events?
• How much DIFFICULTY do you currently have understanding familiar people during ordinary conversations?
• How much DIFFICULTY do you currently have reaching behind your back to put a belt through the loop?
• How much DIFFICULTY do you currently have removing stiff plastic packaging using hands and scissors?

LiveSafe technology combines the individual's functional status with the SeniorMetrix database of actual outcomes to establish evidence-based criteria for determining:

• Hours of care needed to live safely in the community
• Recovery after pneumonia, fracture, stroke or any healthcare event that caused a functional decline
• Anticipated short-term costs and extended health care needs.
