Function QUERI

Function QUERI Logo

The Optimizing Function and Independence QUERI, based at the Durham VA Center of Innovation to Accelerate Discovery and Practice Change (ADAPT), leverages scientifically-supported quality improvement methods to implement evidence-based practices rapidly into routine care and improve the timeliness, quality, and safety of care delivered to Veterans and caregivers. The three Function QUERI programs address gaps in current clinical care for Veterans at risk for functional decline and disability.

STRIDE focuses on prevention of disability related to immobility during hospitalization through a supervised walking program.
Caregivers FIRST (formerly iHI-FIVES) focuses on promoting functional ability and avoiding nursing home placement through caregiver training.
Group Physical Therapy (PT) for Knee Osteoarthritis focuses on improving function in patients with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis through expanded access to PT in a group-based model.

STRIDE SharkTank 2018:

“Getting Hospitalized Veterans Back on Their Feet: The STRIDE Program” was chosen as a Gold Status practice in the 2018 VHA Shark Tank. See the pitch video here.
