What is the I-CAN?
The I-CAN is a support needs assessment designed to assess and guide support delivery for people with a disability including mental illness.
It provides a support services and family friendly holistic assessment conceptually based upon the internationally recognized WHO ICF framework. Support services can use the I-CAN to ensure quality services, integrated with health care plans and individual plans. An individual support needs report is generated online which helps guide service delivery and planning and has many potential applications.
The screenshots give a good overview, there is our latest presentation and latest workshop, or click here for more detailed information including the history and future of the I-CAN.
Why use the I-CAN?
Can you identify individual support needs correctly and follow up on changing needs? Do people in your service get the best quality outcomes? Are you listening to what they need? Do staff value and promote empowerment? Are records current, consistent and secure, regardless of staff turnover?
The I-CAN can support your service and solve these problems. Easy to use on or offline, training is provided in both administration and the philosophy of support and empowerment.
- Provide a comprehensive intake assessment or discharge report
- Monitor support needs, outcomes and skill levels
- Inform service delivery decision making and predict possible changing needs
- Link together and streamline existing assessment and service delivery processes
- Provide an adjunct to psychological testing
- Profile supports and provide a basis for training or educative programs
- Improve communication with and between health, mental health and disability professionals
- Assist with funding applications
The I-CAN also has the potential to be developed much further and some of our proposed upgrades and future projects are described here.
