Project to improve care with proven methods
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Kidney & urinary, Pain, Skin, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This project helps hospital and nursing home teams improve daily care by using proven methods for hand hygiene and another health topic like pain, falls, or smoking. It’s a chance for your unit to join a quality-improvement effort that can make care safer and more effective.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your hospital or nursing home unit must agree to take part in the project and follow proven guidelines for hand hygiene plus one other area (like pain, falls, smoking, etc.).
- You care for patients who fit into one of the specific health topics: pain (any age), falls in older adults or people with walking problems, pressure injury prevention in adults, smoking cessation for adult smokers, urinary incontinence for adults, obesity prevention for children ages 2–12, or breastfeeding support for new parents and babies.
- If your unit focuses on smoking cessation, the patients must be 18 years or older and currently smokers.
- For urinary incontinence, the patient must be 18 years or older and have uncomplicated stress, urge, or mixed incontinence, and you can follow them for at least a week (preferably up to 6 weeks).
- For breastfeeding, the person is a lactating parent or a healthy full-term baby (born at 36+ weeks, weighing at least 5.5 pounds) within the first 6 months of life.
- For pain, it includes anyone of any age who might have pain, whether in the hospital, nursing home, or primary care.
