When implementing the interRAI assessment and submitting to the Integrated interRAI Reporting System (IRRS), it is important to read the IRRS Reference Manual available in CIHI’s online store.
The IRRS Reference Manual will support your understanding of the differences between IRRS and the Continuing Care Reporting System (CCRS)/Home Care Reporting System (HCRS) legacy systems, as well as the implications these differences may have for your business practices.
Integrated interRAI Reporting System (IRRS) Reference
The IRRS reference section in CIHI’s online store will provide you with the IRRS Reference Manual, assessment mappings for all 3 assessments and our IRRS Mandatory Element Matrix.
A CIHI profile is required to access the documentation.
