It is designed for use among all adult patients who are admitted for an overnight stay in hospital. The interRAI AC is designed to form part of the general nursing admission assessment that is offered to all adult patients on arrival at an inpatient unit. The interRAI AC is to be used alongside other nursing assessment information that usually includes biometric (for example, pulse and blood pressure) and administrative information. The interRAI AC comprises two forms: the Admission Form is completed when the patient arrives at the inpatient unit, and the Discharge Form is completed on the day of discharge.
