PRI AND SCREEN- Local and Long Distance
Also known as PASRR 1
“PRI”stands for Patient Review Instrument and the word SCREEN means the patient review information is screened to determine the correct level of care.
“PASRR” stands for Pre-Admission Screening and Resident Review
Why do you need a PRI / SCREEN?
| |
1. |
PRI and SCREEN assessments are a mandatory NYS requirement as part of the nursing home application process. |
| |
2. |
PRI and SCREEN results help families and professionals determine the correct level of care between staying home with services, assisted living, memory care, enhanced assisted living and nursing home. |
Don’t let it scare you.
| |
1. |
We can explain all of your options (there are always more than one option) in a consultation add-on to the process. See below. |
What happens during this assessment?
| |
1. |
A Senior Life LLC Certified Assessor RN will perform interviews, collect health information from family or the primary doctor, and complete an assessment and the multi-page PRI and SCREEN documents. |
| |
2. |
Our Certified Assessor RN will observe your elder loved one stand and walk. She will evaluate the level of cognitive clarity through questions and conversation with the elder. She may need to observe the skin and use of assistive devices. |
| |
3. |
Our Certified Assessor RN will also interview family and professionals if required in your situation. |
| |
4. |
All of this comes together to determine your loved one’s intensity of care needs and categorize them as heavy restorative, clinically complex, behavioral, or requiring physical assistance. |
