Abstract
The objective of this article is to examine the interRAI system for developing digital solutions. As an organization, interRAI provides all the necessary tools for digitalization of interRAI assessments and applications to create an integrated information system for decision support. The organization's model for developing software is to license software vendors in a competitive market. Thus, service providers should carefully consider required and desired features and functionality of software as these will determine how well the interRAI system will work in daily practices. The eight features presented in this article offer general guidelines for procurement agencies and software developers.
