Past SHRTN Communities of Interest

RAI-MDS Community of Interest

Implementation of the Resident Assessment Instrument – Minimum Data Set 2.0 (RAI-MDS 2.0) was initiated in the province of Ontario in June 2005 to improve the care of residents in Long Term Care homes by standardizing the assessment and care planning process. The purpose of our RAI-MDS Community of Interest is to inform and assist with issues surrounding the RAI-MDS.
