The use of the Minimum Data Set. Home Care in a case management project in Hong Kong.
130 hospital-discharged elderly patients received our comprehensive assessment by using a Chinese Minimum Data Set-Home Care (MDS-HC). Our case manager developed and implemented care plans with reference to the computer-generated Clients Assessment Protocols. Results showed that the MDS-HC was sensitive to identify elderly persons' holistic needs, and helpful in formulating all-inclusive care plans.
