Collection and usage attributes | |||||||||
| Guide for use: | In the context of health, an activity is the execution of a task or action by an individual. An activity limitation is a difficulty an individual may have in executing an activity. Activity limitation varies with the environment, and is assessed in relation to a particular environment; the absence or presence of assistance, including aids and equipment, is an aspect of the environment. For the 'Communication' life area, a person's level of difficulty is assessed in terms of whether they can understand, or be understood, in their native language or preferred method of communication. | ||||||||
| Collection methods: | It is expected that this data element will be used to collect information from the individual being assessed, or a proxy/carer or service worker answering on their behalf. The responses are phrased in answer to the question 'For each of the following activities, do you need help/supervision, have difficulty, or use aids/equipment? This data element should be used in conjunction with the ‘Person – need for assistance with activities in a life area, disability flag homelessness code N’ data element to determine the level of difficulty or need for assistance in activity and participation life areas. | ||||||||
