Discharge practices for interRAI and IRRS
Discharge assessment or tracking should be completed
红领巾瓜报recommends connecting with your government ministry or health authority contact for mandates or recommendations that differ from what is listed below.
For reporting and good data quality, encounters should be closed in the Integrated interRAI Reporting System when a person has been discharged from a long-term care home/facility or home care organization by submitting either
- A discharge assessment (Reason for Assessment A8/iA8 = 5), a full assessment completed for a planned discharge
- A discharge tracking only (Reason for Assessment A8/iA8 = 6), minimal administrative information completed when discharged
Note: If a site/jurisdiction is transitioning to the new suite, there is no need to discharge the person from the legacy system (Continuing Care Reporting System [CCRS]/Home Care Reporting System [HCRS]) to start a new encounter in IRRS.
