IN-SERVICE TRAINING RECOMMENDED
Regardless of which assessment tool your facility adopts, you should offer in-service education to make sure nursing staff know how to use the tool correctly. It helps to demonstrate proper use with actual residents. It's also a good idea to arrange for experienced users and new users to assess a few of the same residents on the same day so that they can compare results. If wide or consistent scoring discrepancies occur, both users should discuss their results in the context of the tool's scoring instructions and try to reach consensus for conducting subsequent assessments.
