Boston University Activity Measure for Post Acute Care
(AM-PAC™)
The AM-PAC is a state-of-the-art outcome instrument that measures function in three domains: basic mobility, daily activities and applied cognitive. The AM-PAC™ can be used for quality improvement, outcomes monitoring, and research activities in inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation, home care, nursing homes and long-term acute care settings.
The AM-PAC is appropriate for functional assessment in adults with a wide range of diagnoses and functional abilities. Patients can respond to AM-PAC test items or the instrument can be completed by clinicians or family members. The AM-PAC is available in two basic formats: a computer-based version and outpatient short-form version.
