Assessment count by type
What we are looking at interrai outcome scales and Clinical Assessment Protocols (CAPs) are outputs from the assessment process Automatically generated using built in algorithms in the assessment Excluded Home Care clients who moved into aged residential care within 6 months of being assessed Outcome Scales o They are usually used to evaluate an older person s current clinical and functional status. CAPs o A triggered CAP is usually an opportunity to facilitate improvement, slow rate of decline or alleviate symptoms.
Method of Assigning Priority Level (MAPLe) 13 The MAPLe score is only used in Home Care assessments, not in Contact assessments or LTCF assessments. It is a priority indicator, with higher scores based on the presence of activities of daily living (ADL) impairment, cognitive impairment, wandering and behaviour problems. The MAPLe score is also a predictor of carer stress. The higher the score, the greater the priority for services to be commenced or increased in the community to prevent hospitalisation or admission into residential care.
Method of Assigning Priority Level (MAPLe) 16% of Home Care assessments were for clients with the highest MAPLe score, compared to 23% last year

Activities of Daily Living (ADL) Self-Performance Hierarchy Scale 16 The ADL Self-Performance Hierarchy Scale is a measure of functional performance grouping activities of daily living according to the stages of the disablement process in which they occur The scale is based on four ADL items showing the level of difficulty in Personal hygiene Locomotion Toilet use Eating.
