The date and start time of each nursing shift, topic of
education or care management, number of minutes
(using 10-minute increments) spent, and who was
involved in the interaction (patient, family/caregiver,
or both) were entered into the PDA or supplemental
electronic documentation. Also entered was the nurse’s
perception of the level of patient engagement in rehabilitation
activities during the shift. Each nurse was
trained on use of the documentation system at their
center; quarterly testing using written case scenarios
ensured inter-rater reliability. Education performed in
less than 10-minute increments was not captured
