| Definition: | The setting in which the person receives assistance from the agency on a service delivery event. |
| Context: | The data element Service delivery setting is one of a cluster of data elements that describe a HACC service event or one occasion of service delivery to a client. At this stage of HACC MDS development, agencies are not required to report information about individual HACC service events. However, the Service delivery setting is required to be recorded by HACC agencies for each service delivery event when the Primary type of assistance received is one of the following: • Nursing Care Information about the Service delivery setting for these types of assistance is required to support the reporting of the data elements Total amount of type of assistance received (time) and Total amount of type of assistance received (quantity). Information about the types of setting in which people receive HACC services is important in evaluating the ways in which the HACC program responds to the needs of clients. Recording the setting in which services are delivered indicates the extent to which support and assistance are provided to a client in their usual place of residence as opposed to those provided in other settings to which a person may need to specifically travel. Future developments in the HACC MDS may require information about the setting in which services are delivered to clients for other types of assistance provided by HACC agencies. |
