Perfecting your CAA and Care Planning Process – April 2024

Program Description

The Care Areas Assessment (CAA) process is the framework for decision-making after the MDS assessment has been completed and serves as the link between the MDS and the Care Plan. The CAA process helps the interdisciplinary team evaluate the resident holistically, and to identify strengths, weaknesses, and comorbidities that will potentially impact the resident’s function, choices, and goals.  CAAs also address important care considerations such as palliative care needs.

This workshop will provide clarity and offer a more detailed understanding of the CAA’s process creating the foundation for person-centered care plans .  Participants will learn how to utilize critical thinking skills to analyze the process of writing the CAA’s which will guide the Interdisciplinary Team (IDT) to develop a more person-centered care plan that reflects the individualized resident’s clinical needs, risks, and preferences.
