interRAI Implementation: Health System Considerations
This article focuses on the implementation of interRAI instruments at a national health system level. It is based on a narrative review undertaken by the authors from several interRAI member countries. Implementation experiences from several countries and searches of PubMed and other databases, grey literature sources, policy reports, and the interRAI repository, identified practical insights and recommendations relevant for health system implementation. Key considerations are outlined. These include policy and legal considerations, resourcing considerations, training and education considerations, and data considerations.
