Three Day interRAI CHA New Assessors Workshop

Three Day interRAI CHA New Assessors' Workshop

This comprehensive three day workshop will equip new assessors with the knowledge and skills needed to conduct competent assessments using the interRAI Community Health Assessment (interRAI CHA). Participants will also learn how to use the assessment generated information (Clinical Assessment Protocols and scales) to both inform and evaluate client-centred care plans. The workshop will cover the updated content of the interRAI CHA v 9.1.4 as well as v 9.1.3 (the version of the CHA originally adopted).  In a supportive and engaging environment, participants will learn:

• the general principles of conducting a competent interRAI CHA assessment
• to accurately document client information through the interRAI Community Health Assessment (interRAI CHA) system, including the functional supplement.        
• to use the Clinical Assessment Protocols (CAPS) to inform the development of client - centred care plans
• to use the interRAI CHA scales to evaluate the effectiveness of care plans in addressing client needs

Participants will have ample opportunity to have their questions addressed. Participants will simulate the assessment process in the classroom through the use of a case study. A certificate will be awarded upon the successful completion of the three-day workshop.

This session is appropriate for individuals responsible for conducting client assessments and creating client care plans. No prior experience with the interRAI CHA assessment is required.
