RESEARCH
I am a health services researcher collaborating
with a group called interRAI.
InterRAI is a network of
clinicians and researchers in over 30 countries committed to improving health
care for persons who are elderly, frail, or disabled. Their goal is to promote
evidence-based clinical practice and policy decisions through the collection
and interpretation of high quality data about the characteristics and outcomes
of persons served across a variety of health and social services setting. They
develop standardized, comprehensive intake / needs assessment forms for home
care, nursing homes, assisted living, psychiatric hospitals, palliative care,
etc.,). I am a co-author of the interRAI Palliative
Care. As a postdoctoral student, I
assisted with the development of the interRAI-Mental Health. As of October
2005, the interRAI Mental Health was mandated as the common assessment
instrument for all designated psychiatric beds in the Province of Ontario,
Canada, and constitutes part of the Ontario Mental Health Reporting System
(OMHRS), Canadian Institute for Health Information. For more information on OMHRS “click

Two recent
papers published in BMC Health Services Research provide a good overview
to interRAI.
