| Annotation | The MDS-RAI (Minimum Data Set Resident Assessment Instrument for long-term care facilities) is designed to provide a comprehensive standard assessment of residents' needs for use in nursing and residential homes. This action research project explored how care home staff and management could raise care provision standards through embedding its use in daily practice. This full report of the project includes: development of the MDS/RAI and of MDS/RAI reports in the UK; lessons learned from the international community on MDS/RAI best practice; barriers to implementation in the UK; recommendations for implementation in a care home; and future developments. Appendices comprise explanatory and illustrative material for MDS/RAI. The briefer Findings series version (same title) by Iain Carpenter and Laura Stosz of the Centre for Health Services Studies at the University of Kent, is published by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF) and may be downloaded from its website (www.jrf.org.uk).
