Methods for determining a post-acute level of care for a patient are provided. A template is provided, the template including categories indicating issues relating to a condition, such as a neurological event, a wound injury, or an orthopedic injury. Each category includes several levels, each level representing a severity of the category. A numerical rating is assigned to a level selected for each category, and a total score is calculated. Using the template and the score, a care facility is recommended for the patient.
