NYS PRI & SCREEN/PASRR, commonly referred to as a Hospital and Community Patient Review Instrument (HC-PRI)
What is it and what is it used for?
DOH - 694
DOH - 695
The Patient Review Instrument (PRI) is an assessment tool developed by New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) to assess the physical, medical, and cognitive characteristics of an individual seeking skilled nursing facility/nursing home admission. It also includes information regarding specialized services they may receive, such as physical therapy and/or occupational therapy.
The SCREEN/PASRR is an assessment tool developed by NYSDOH to determine an individual's potential to be appropriately cared for in a setting other than a Residential Health Care Facility (RHCF). It also includes information regarding dementia, Alzheimer's disease, mental illness (MI), developmental disability (DD), intellectual disability (ID) or a related condition (RC).
