ConceptPhysical assistance
DescriptionHands-on support provided by a caregiver to enable an individual to complete a task they cannot perform independently and/or safely due to a limitation in strength, mobility, coordination, communication, cognition, or sensory abilities, such as visual or auditory impairments.
UseUse to record details about the provision of physical assistance at clinically relevant events in the intervention lifecycle, from planning to completion, and including deviations or interruptions. The scope of this data group includes a wide range of physical assistance, including but not limited to activities of daily living: - Mobility assistance – such as walking, standing, or transferring - Personal activities and hygiene – such as bathing, dressing, grooming, and toileting. - Feeding assistance - Therapeutic exercises – such as hands-on support during physical therapy exercises or rehabilitation activities - Use of assistive devices – such as helping with the use of mobility aids, prosthetic device, or communication devices. Record one instance per careflow step or event for each specified assistance activity in a health record. If the assistance consists of a single activity, the 'Assistance provided' and the 'Assistance completed' careflow step may be recorded simultaneously. However, if the assistance consists of multiple component activities, record a separate instance of the 'Assistance provided' careflow step for each component activity provided, and record the 'Assistance completed' step only after the final component activity has been provided.
MisuseNot to be used to record other types of assistance, other than physical or hands-on support. The need for a specific archetype for this purpose is acknowledged but has not yet been developed.
PurposeTo record details about the provision of physical assistance at clinically relevant events in the intervention lifecycle, from planning to completion, and including deviations or interruptions.
