Comparison of the oral health status of nursing home residents using the current and the newly developed interRAI oral health section (OHS-interRAI): a cross-sectional study
More missing OHS-interRAI data may be attributed to regulatory decisions on using the interRAI LTCF instrument. Caregivers identified more oral health problems with the OHS-interRAI, which may be due to its additional features, such as photographs and extensive instructions. The Collaborative Action Points included in the OHS-interRAI support continuity of care and enable integration of oral care into general care. Further research is needed to evaluate whether the OHS-interRAI accurately identifies residents who need help with daily oral hygiene or dental referral.
