Background: TransitionalThe Transitional Care Programme (TCP) is widely used in stroke rehabilitation. The discharge destination (DD) following TCP is predicted during the hospital stay, as TCP is a time limitedtime-limited programme. This prediction is a combined decision made between medical and multidisciplinary teams, based on functional assessments. AccuracyThe accuracy of this prediction is poorly evaluated in the literature. Aims of the study: The study was designed to assess the accuracy of prognostication in deciding on a patient's discharge destination following TCP. Methodology: ItThe study was designed as a retrospective observational study involving all patients transferred to TCP from Osborne Park Stroke rehabilitation unit from 2008 to 2015. Information ofregarding the discharge destination prediction was taken from reviewing patient records. The actual destination following TCP was collected from the TCP registry inof the Health departmentDepartment of Western Australia. Key Findings: There was no significant discrepancy in DD prediction between medical (MT) and multidisciplinary (MDT) teams (Kappa 0.868). However, only 41.88% of predictions were accurate.
