Changes from FIM
- CARE did away with the 7 point system of the FIM and ranges from 1-6.
- Most notably, instead of min/moderate/maximal assistance having its own description, they are now grouped into 2 possible values (CARE 2 or CARE 3).
- They are defined as either “less than 50%” for CARE 3 and “more than 50%” for CARE 2.
- This should make it easier to conceptualize in terms of < or > 50% compared to FIM having 25% increments (0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%).
- However, critics argue that CARE will be less sensitive to changes including functional gains since the CARE scale is now 6 instead of 7.
- Another challenge involves adoption.
- New adopters of CARE who have never used FIM will find the new scale intuitive.
- However, practitioners transitioning from FIM will be initially confused because the scale does not correlate, e.g. Supervision for FIM is 5, but CARE is now 4.
