Standardized Assessment and Person-Centred Care Planning

An Operator of a Type A Continuing Care Home must have documented processes in place that ensure a Physician or a Nurse Practitioner conduct:

  1. a Medical Status assessment of a Client upon admission; and
  2. reassessments of a Client's Medical Status on an annual basis and when there is a significant change in the Client's Medical Status.

Notes

  • Standard 1.4 applies to Type A Continuing Care Homes only
  • Medical Status assessments are described in:
    • The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta's Standards of Practice
    • The College and Association of Registered Nurses' Practice Standards for Regulated Members

Evidence of compliance can be found within the Alberta Health CCHSS Information Guide
