Clinician Resources: March-April 2015

Below are resources you may find helpful to your practice.

AHRQ’s Safety Program for Nursing Homes: On-Time Prevention

The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) has established “AHRQ’s Safety Program for Nursing Homes: On-Time Prevention,” designed to improve long-term care by turning daily documentation into useful information that enhances clinical care planning.

On-Time uses electronic medical records to develop weekly reports that identify residents at risk for common adverse events in nursing homes to help clinical staff intervene early. Facilitators help the team integrate these reports into clinical decision making to improve care planning.

For each adverse event, the website provides a description of the reports and suggested meetings and huddles where the reports may be used, the functional specifications for programming the reports, description of implementation tools, and a 2-day training curriculum for facilitators.
