International IMPLEMENTATION

It is the SMAF tool marketing team’s goal to develop an international market. Thus, including the province of Quebec, many establishments in France, Switzerland, Belgium, and Brazil now use the SMAF tool.

IMPLEMENTATION in FRANCE

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Since 2005, the SMAF TOOL is progressively introducing itself in France.

In 2008-2009, an evaluative study on the implementation of the SMAF in 11 establishments of the medical and social sector serving seniors and adults with disabilities living at home or in a residential facility was funded by the Conseil général de la Dordogne, the Caisse Nationale de Solidarité pour l'Autonomie (CNSA), the Caisses Primaire et Régionale d'Assurance maladie (CPAM and CRAM) and the Mutuelle de solidarité agricole (MSA).

The success of the SMAF implementation in Dordogne confirmed the relevance of the SMAF tool in the French medical and social sector.

Furthermore, in 2010, the professionals of the first MAIA (Maison pour l'Autonomie et l'Intégration des Malades Alzheimer) used the SMAF tool and have found it suitable for evaluating the situation of people with Alzheimer's disease or related diseases.

Concomitantly, 48 establishments in 13 French departments have also chosen to implement the SMAF.
