Issue

Because “scale” can have several meanings (the weighing of a person is done with a scale) a name change is advised. In Canada Assessment Scales are replaced by “assessment tools or surveys”. R-MIM addresses Assessment scales/scores.

Recommendation

Replace "Assessment scales" by "assessment tools or surveys" or something similiar
