The acronym for this proposal, BABEL, refers to the fact that a common "language" - the interRAI risk-stratification and decision-making tool - will be used in this project, allowing several measures of care quality in long-term care facilities to be compared with those in other provinces for the first time. The impact of the use of this assessment system and associated care planning protocols will also be investigated using usual practice as the point of reference.
