Improving Nursing Home Care through Feedback On PerfoRMance Data (INFORM)
FY 2014-15
Summary
With our many successes in keeping seniors healthier and longer in the community, residents are now admitted to nursing homes later in their decline, having more complex needs and in a much greater state of vulnerability. This project will evaluate different strategies to get research findings back to managers in the system in a timely and effective way so that they result in improvements in quality of care. We will be testing various feedback packages to determine the strategy that is most effective at fostering improvements and is also cost-effective. The project will be carried out in nursing homes in Alberta, British Columbia and Manitoba. The information developed will contribute to better care for Canadian seniors who spend their final years in a nursing home.
