Abstract
Purpose In this study a review was done of studies using the RAI-FC (Resident Assessment Instrument-Facility
Care) or RAI-HC (Resident Assessment Instrument-Home Care) to examine older adults at home or in long-term
care institutions in Korea. Methods A literature review was conducted using five major health-related databases
and search included a set of key words and inclusion/exclusion criteria. Selected studies were categorized by
purpose, and the studies in each category were systematically reviewed. Results Forty-six studies published
between 2000 and 2011 were identified. The number of studies per year increased starting in 2008. A majority
of the studies adopted the instruments for comprehensive clinical assessment and program evaluation. The
instruments were also useful in providing decision support for case management and evaluation of required
nursing time for elders, although such evidence was limited. Almost three fourths of the studies targeted elders
living at home. Conclusion Existing studies support the usefulness of the RAI instruments for evidence-based
quality care and policy development as well as comprehensive assessments and care planning for older people
with long-term care needs. Further study is necessary to provide evidence for the usefulness and feasibility of
applying the RAI instruments to the beneficiaries of Long-term Care Insurance.
