| Annotation | An intermediate care evaluation project in East Kent designed to explore and examine the use of a standardised patient assessment tool (single assessment tool) is reported, the aim being to examine the suitability of patients entering each of the intermediate care (IC) services. This paper focuses on the results of the community assessment rehabilitation team (CART), a recuperative care centre and the day hospital. After analysing patient assessments, the authors found that some patients in all intermediate care services were placed there inappropriately, and this was most evident in the day hospital. The paper concludes with considerations and suggestions for improving the effectiveness of assessment tools in practice. (RH). |
