The Integrated interRAI Reporting System (IRRS) uses near real-time data submissions. Assessors will receive error messages and other pop-ups during assessment completion rather than via a report after quarter end. To ensure high-quality data, staff should be trained on how to resolve these notifications using a standardized approach. 

Encounters must be closed in IRRS when a person has been discharged. This is important for reporting and data quality purposes.

Doing so closes the encounter with an actual (true) discharge date, provides information on residential/living status after the encounter ended, and provides accurate counts of discharged persons, which may feed into other reports such as length of stay, client volumes and turnover analysis. 

Define a process for a person’s next due assessment by doing one of the following:

• Retaining the existing assessment cycle and completing a first assessment in IRRS at the person’s next due assessment date.
• Starting fresh in IRRS.

Note: Retaining the existing assessment cycle will allow for staggered deadlines throughout the year. Setting a standard first assessment reference date for all assessments at the start of data collection will result in subsequent assessments being due at the same time, ultimately impacting workload. 
 

There is a subset of data available through the query functionality in IRRS, as well as through your vendor software solution, that you can access to assess your data quality.
