AnnotationThis article looks at the use of a standardised assessment tool for older people for continuing care - the minimum data set / resident assessment instrument (MDS/RAI) - developed in the United States. The authors argue that the use of a national assessment instrument could improve health care. The assessment tool is described and its use in the UK is discussed.
