Follow the steps to complete the Akps online seamlessly.

1. Click the ‘Get Form’ button to access the AKPS document and open it in your digital editor.
2. Carefully read the assessment criteria outlined in the AKPS to understand the scoring system. Scores range from 10 to 100, measuring the patient's ability to perform daily activities.
3. Determine the initial rating based on your observations of the patient’s ability to carry out daily activities. Use the provided definitions to guide your assessment.
4. Conduct routine assessments. If in an inpatient setting, evaluate daily; in community settings, assess at each visit or consult to gather up-to-date data.
5. Reassess the patient during any phase changes or at the end of the episode of care when the patient is discharged. This ensures the most accurate capturing of performance status changes.
6. Record the rating you have assessed using increments of 10. Note that intermediate scores such as 45 or 55 are not valid and should not be documented.
7. Finalize your document by ensuring all necessary fields are completed, then save changes, download, print, or share the form as needed.
