Utility of The Regina Risk Indicator Tool among case managed elderly clients.
The Regina Risk Indicator Tool (RRIT) is used to identify how at risk clients are for requiring admission to long-term care. This study examined the potential use of this tool by case managers of older community dwelling clients receiving home care. The RRIT exhibited moderate to good inter-rater reliability and good predictive validity as clients of varying degrees of risk differed in amount of case management and services used. Healthcare managers may wish to consider using the tool to support decision-making related to case management and home care service.
