RAI Manual Chapter 4 Care Area Assessment ... - Polaris Group
CMS's RAI Version Manual CH 4: CAA Process and Care Planning Chapter 4: CARE AREA Assessment (CAA). PROCESS AND CARE PLANNING. This Chapter provides information about the CAAs, Care Area triggers (CATs; the Minimum Data Set [MDS] triggering mechanism), and the process for care plan development for nursing home residents. Overview of the Resident Assessment Instrument (RAI). and CAAs The care delivery system in a nursing home is complex yet critical to successful resident care outcomes and is guided by both professional standards of practice and regulatory requirements. The delivery of care to meet the needs of a resident is based upon the completion of a comprehensive Assessment and the development of a care plan based upon the Assessment . Documentation of this Assessment process is necessary to assure continuity of care and to identify declines, improvements, or maintenance of a resident's condition. The Assessment process known as the RAI involves the completion of the MDS, the CAAs, and the development of a comprehensive care plan.
When a trigger is entered as the response on a resident’s MDS, additional assessment and review of the care area are required to determine the status of the issue. Thus, the CATs and CAAs form a critical link between the MDS and care planning.
