InterRAI
International Resident Assessment Instrument (InterRAI)
InterRAI is an electronic assessment tool used by health professionals working with older people throughout New Zealand. The assessments highlight any issues and help assessors match services more closely to needs.
The Contact Assessment can be done face to face or over the phone and takes about 30 minutes to complete. It provides a better understanding of the urgency of the service need and the type of service required.
The full assessment tool used in community environments for older people with complex needs requires more time. It can take information from a number of sources involved with the person’s care.
InterRAI is internationally recognized and validated by research. It provides consistency of assessment across the country and will be used by planners to forecast future health service requirements.
