This document (12 pages, in French) examines the implementation of preadmission interviews for long-term care facilities (CHSLDs) in the territory covered by the Centre intégré de santé et de services sociaux (CISSS) de Laval. The document is divided in two sections. The first describes the practice, its interest for stakeholders and what it brings to existing caregiver services. The second aims to serve as a springboard for discussion on how best to apply the practice in different settings.
N.B. Though the practices described in this document may have evolved since its publication, they are still relevant in their capacity to inform and inspire initiatives that could benefit caregivers.

The document was produced within the framework of the caregiving practice community by the knowledge transfer team at the Institut Universitaire de première ligne en santé et services sociaux (IUPLSSS), part of the CIUSSS de l’Estrie–CHUS. It is one of nine guides in a best practices compendium that covers a range of caregiving topics. Created to promote the support and full recognition of caregivers, and informed by ongoing practices in different Quebec health and social services establishments, the compendium is directed at all public, associative, community and private sector stakeholders involved in caregiving.
