description: Being able to get dressed independently is part of self-care. Limitations in this ability indicate a reduced ability to cope for oneself. \r\nThis activity and activities such as those including eating, drinking, and bathing are also known as activities of daily living (ADL). These are the activities people go through in daily life. The extent to which a person is able to do all these activities by themselves is a measure for their total ability to do things independently.\r\n\r\n#### Purpose\r\nInformation on limitations in a patient’s ability to dress themselves is important in determining the nature and intensity of the care the patient needs. In a transfer situation, it gives the receiving organization the ability to anticipate the intensity of the care to be given to the patient, enabling continuity in healthcare for the patient. \r\nIf policy has been implemented to improve a patient’s ability to do things independently, the entered extent of independence helps to determine the efficiency of the treatment.\r\n\r\n#### Evidence Base\r\nThe definitions of the concepts were (partially) taken from the ICNP definitions. \r\nIn addition to this information model, there are other tools to record independence, such as the KATZ-ADL and the BarthelIndex. The KATZ-ADL is mainly used for vulnerable seniors and the BarthelIndex is mainly used for patients who have had a stroke. \r\nThis information model evaluates the ability to get dressed on a three-point scale. In the KATZ-ADL and in the BarthelIndex, this falls under the aspect of Dressing. In these two tools, the ability is scored on a scale with fewer points. package_name: healthdata.be.r4.cbb derivation: specialization name: HdBeAbilityToDressOneself abstract: true type: https://fhir.healthdata.be/StructureDefinition/LogicalModel/AbilityToDressOneself elements: DressingOneself: short: DressingOneself _definition: extension: - url: http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/translation extension: - {url: lang, valueCode: nl-BE} - url: content valueMarkdown: "Aan- en uittrekken van (passende) kleding.\r\nIn het concept TeKledenLichaamsdeel kan nader aangegeven worden voor welk lichaamsdeel de beperking geldt." type: CodeableConcept _short: extension: - url: http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/translation extension: - {url: lang, valueCode: nl-BE} - {url: content, valueMarkdown: ZichKleden} binding: {strength: required, valueSet: 'https://fhir.healthdata.be/ValueSet/DressingOneself'} index: 0 BodyPartToBeDressed: short: BodyPartToBeDressed _definition: extension: - url: http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/translation extension: - {url: lang, valueCode: nl-BE} - {url: content, valueMarkdown: Het lichaamsdeel of de lichaamsdelen waarvoor ondersteuning bij het zich kleden gewenst/noodzakelijk is.} type: CodeableConcept _short: extension: - url: http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/translation extension: - {url: lang, valueCode: nl-BE} - {url: content, valueMarkdown: TeKledenLichaamsdeel} array: true binding: {strength: required, valueSet: 'https://fhir.healthdata.be/ValueSet/BodyPartToBeDressed'} index: 1 package_version: 0.15.0-beta class: logical kind: logical url: https://fhir.healthdata.be/StructureDefinition/LogicalModel/HdBe-AbilityToDressOneself base: http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/Element version: null required: [DressingOneself]
