Project

National and international evaluation of the optimized oral health-related section of the BelRAI and its incorporation in the interRAI suite of instruments

The proposed project will evaluate the effect of the newly developed oral assessment tool and associated training on different aspects of health and on caregivers’ knowledge and attitude. This will lead to further fine-tuning and embedding of the oral assessment in the BelRAI (the Belgian version of the interRAI, which is currently being implemented in the national health care system) (https://www.belrai.org/). Adaptation of the assessment to the international context, in collaboration with international partners, will allow international validation and evaluation. This project ultimately aims to incorporate and anchor the oral health assessment within the interRAI Suite of Instruments and therefore improve oral health care and oral health for care-dependent older persons internationally.
