interRAI

The Canadian French edition of "Santé mentale en milieu communautaire (SMMC) interRAI, manuel de l'utilisateur et formulaire d'évaluation" is translated from the English "interRAI Community Mental Health (CMH) Assessment Form and User's Manual." This assessment system complements the interRAI Mental Health and Home Care systems. The SMMC (CMH) instrument is designed to be used for community-based individuals with a broad range of mental and physical health needs. The target population is all adults aged 18 and over in community mental health settings, including those with dual diagnoses.

This electronic edition of the interRAI Acute Care for Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (AC-CGA) contains country-specific examples for Australia and uses the English native to Australia. 

The interRAI AC-CGA is a key element of the interRAI Hospital Assessment Systems. It is designed for use among older (and some younger) patients who have complex functional and psychosocial needs. The interRAI AC-CGA Assessment and Care Planning System is a comprehensive, standardized instrument for evaluating the needs, strengths, and preferences of older people, who are judged to have major functional and psycho-social issues that are likely to affect their management in hospital or discharge planning. The interRAI AC-CGA consists of an assessment form, item-by-item instructions, and a series of care planning protocols. 

The interRAI Brief Mental Health Screener (BMHS) was developed to assist front-line police officers and community service providers to identify and respond to persons with mental health concerns. The interRAI BMHS is based on and intended to complement the interRAI Mental Health (MH) Assessment System for In-Patient Psyciatry, the interRAI Community Mental Health (CMH) Assessment System, and the interRAI Emergency Screener for psychiatry (ESP).
