The Center for Assessment Technology (CAT) is a healthcare technology company specializing in the development and licensing of advanced functional assessment tools. The company is best known for the Activity Measure for Post-Acute Care (AM-PAC), a validated assessment framework used to track patient function across physical, personal care, and cognitive domains. CAT utilizes computer-adaptive testing methodologies based on Item Response Theory to provide precise measurements while minimizing respondent burden. Their tools are widely integrated into major electronic health record systems, such as Epic and Cerner, to support clinical decision-making and quality reporting.
