In this chapter the authors compare assessment techniques in education and health. These examples are drawn from assessment for learning in secondary school as compared with assessment of functioning in care of older people. Content in these respective assessment environments is obviously quite different, but there is some overlap, in particular related to social circumstances. The authors further argue that the assessment structure and formal analysis techniques are and even should be quite similar. These two domains of assessments share not only a common information and terminological structure, but also a common assessment framework (CAF) which is shown to be extendable by process detail. In this focus on assessment in health, particularly in active and healthy ageing, the model is intended to support the integration of information and processes (decision and intervention pathways) supporting various types of providers.
