When It Is Used

Use it during live or near-live CDI observation when target reduction behaviors need to be counted consistently.

Limits

The tool does not explain why behaviors occur, generate coaching instructions, score severity, or decide phase readiness automatically.

What is counted in this tool?

The tool counts observed caregiver interaction behaviors targeted for reduction during the relevant CDI interaction period.

Does zero mean the same thing as missing data?

No. Zero means the behavior was observed as absent; not recorded or unobserved categories are labeled separately.

Can the trend show readiness to progress?

The trend can support a practitioner readiness judgment, but the system does not make an automatic readiness decision.
