Abstract: 

The Integrated interRAI Reporting System (IRRS) supports timely, connected and person-centred senior care in Canada. IRRS enables system-to-system communication and near real-time data submission for the home care and long-term care sectors. It houses new interRAI data standards that offer improved commonality and standardization of language. With IRRS, users can explore organizational-level data, compare results across jurisdictions and see trends over time in a dynamic and user-friendly interactive business intelligence tool. IRRS will better support the sectors' ability to respond to emerging pan-Canadian needs to analyze, benchmark and compare data.
