Winnipeg Manitoba – Mr. Gerry Labossiere, President of AIS Assessment & Intelligence Systems Inc. (AIS) announced today that the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI) has formalized a partnership with AIS to use AIS’ Mastering the RAI-HC and the Mastering the RAI 2.0 eLearning instructional systems in support of their RAI education initiatives throughout Canada.

“Given that CIHI and AIS share many of the same RAI clients in Canada, the use of the Mastering the RAI series by CIHI educators in the delivery of our RAI education was a natural fit”, stated Nancy White, Manager, Home and Continuing Care. “We look forward to using the AIS products to further enhance our RAI education programs.

“Both CIHI and AIS share a common vision - to ensure that the RAI HC and RAI 2.0 continue to serve as effective tools for improving the delivery and quality of Home Care and Long Term Care services in Canada,” stated Gerry Labossiere, President of AIS. “We believe that a collaborative and coordinated approach with CIHI will be of great assistance in achieving that objective.”
