interRAI Home Care Schweiz (interRAI HCSchweiz) Bedarfsabklärungsinstrument und Handbuch, Version 9.4.3, Deutschsprachige Ausgabe für die Schweiz

The Swiss German edition of "interRAI Home Care Schweiz (interRAI HCSchweiz) Bedarfsabklärungsinstrument und Handbuch" is translated from the English "interRAI Home Care (HC) Assessment System." This current version 9.4.3 includes errata updates from the previous Swiss version 9.4.2.

The interRAI HC is designed to be a user-friendly, reliable, person-centered system that informs and guides comprehensive planning of care and services for elderly and disabled persons in community-based settings around the world. It focuses on the person's functioning and quality of life by assessing needs, strengths, and preferences. It also facilitates referrals when appropriate. When used on multiple occasions, it provides the basis for an outcome-based assessment of the person's response to care or services. The interRAI HC Assessment System can be used to assess persons with chronic needs for care, as well as with post-acute care needs (e.g., after hospitalization or in a hospital-at-home situation).

This book contains introductory material, an item-by-item guide to completing the assessment form, and the assessment form itself. The Swiss German Edition has been customized for Switzerland, and the German language used in this publication is native to Switzerland.
