Standardizing Assessment of Elderly People in Acute Care: The interRAI Acute Care Instrument

LGLen GrayRBRoberto BernabeiKBKatherine Berg

Key Points

  • This research evaluates the psychometric properties of the interRAI Acute Care instrument for elderly assessment in acute care settings.
  • Analyzed item selection and interrater reliability of the interRAI Acute Care instrument.
  • Conducted initial assessments to gather data on psychometric properties.
  • Item selection and interrater reliability were confirmed as appropriate for clinical application.
  • Further studies are needed to validate the effectiveness of embedded scales and algorithms.

Abstract

Initial assessment of the psychometric properties of the interRAI Acute Care instrument provided evidence that item selection and interrater reliability are appropriate for clinical application. Further studies are required to examine the validity of embedded scales, diagnostic algorithms, and clinical protocols.
