Integrated Assessment Record (IAR) – Entering Consent – MDS Assessment

(Skilled Nursing Ontario Facilities only)

Some Ontario facilities use the Integrated Assessment Record (IAR). If your facility is participating in IAR, you can enter a resident’s IAR consent in the MDS assessment. IAR consent must be entered to lock the MDS assessment.

IAR consent can also be entered through IAR Consent in the resident’s MDS tab to autopopulate MDS assessments. For more information, see Integrated Assessment Record (IAR) – Entering Consent – MDS Tab.

  1. Navigate to Clinical > Resident's Chart > MDS tab.

  2. Edit MDS Assessment.

  3. Edit Link to the right of the IAR Consent.

  • After consent is entered, IAR Consent changes from Pending to either Grant or Deny.

  • When ‘Do you wish to collect the IAR Consent Date?’ is set to Yes in MDS Configuration, the Consent Date field is mandatory and populates with the current date.
