Educational Approaches for Successful Implementation of interRAI Assessment Systems

Data from routine interRAI assessments can inform healthcare decisions at individual, organizational, and system levels. A well-designed, sustainable education strategy for all target audiences is essential to support both implementation and ongoing use of interRAI systems. Instructional design strategies and considerations for developing an educational program are described, as well as specific delivery suggestions for three audiences: (1) interRAI assessors who complete accurate assessments or coordinate them within teams; (2) clinicians who utilize interRAI assessment outcomes without conducting the assessments themselves; and (3) end users such as administrators, officials, and researchers who use interRAI data for management, governance, service delivery, performance measurement, policy, and research.
