Intra-carer reliability for OHAT categories: percent agreement ranged from 74.4 per cent for oral cleanliness, to 93.9 per cent for dental pain Kappa statistics were in moderate range (0.51-0.60) for lips, saliva, oral cleanliness, and for all other categories in range of 0.61-0.80 (substantial agreement) (p < 0.05). This analysis presents OHAT reliability and validity results.Ī convenience sample of 21 residential care facilities (RCFs) in urban and rural Victoria, NSW and South Australia used the OHAT at baseline, three-months and six-months to assess intra- and inter-carer reliability and concurrent validity.įour hundred and fifty five residents completed all study phases. The OHAT provided institutional carers with a simple, eight category screening tool to assess residents' oral health, including those with dementia. The aim is to encourage all ICUs in the UK to be using the PICUPS and RP routinely for all patients (COVID-19 and non-COVID) and to submit data to UKROC.įor further details about the pilot study visit Intensive Care Society website or email ICS at longer term aim is to establish the PICUPS and RP as part of the national data collection for patients who have ongoing needs for rehabilitation after leaving intensive care.The Oral Health Assessment Tool (OHAT) was a component of the Best Practice Oral Health Model for Australian Residential Care study. Data is being collected and collated by UKROC.Īn extended national pilot started in December 2020. The piloting and ongoing development is led by the Intensive Care Society and British Society of Rehabilitation Medicine on behalf of the National Post ICU Rehabilitation Collaborative. It was designed as a simple tool to be completed by a junior doctor, a nurse and a member of the ICU therapy team, not requiring any particular specialist knowledge.Ī national pilot across 26 ICUs and acute wards in July-August 2020 showed the PICUPS to be a psychometrically robust tool that is clinically useful to assist with decision-making and triggering referral to the various disciplines who should be involved. The PICUPS was developed by a multi-professional group brought together through the National Post ICU Rehabilitation Collaborative.

#SCREEN KING TOOL SOFTWARE#
UKROC has developed a simple software programme based on Microsoft Excel to assist with data collection and collation.
#SCREEN KING TOOL PLUS#

The PICUPS Plus represents 10 additional items to identify potential higher-level items that may need to be addressed as the patient progresses during acute care. The Post ICU Presentation Screen (PICUPS) is a simple 14-item clinical tool developed to support triage and handover of patients stepping down from ITU into the acute wards, and onwards into rehabilitation.
