StacieO 0 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 Hello! I'm looking for Quality Improvement projects... any suggestions would be appreciated. We are expected at our facility to have at least 1 QI project going on & have to report quarterly. (Not quality indicators, but quality improvement.) I'm running dry on ideas! Thanks in advance for the help! Stacie O. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diana 0 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 Hi Stacie, I don't understand what you mean by quality improvement. Is it resident related, or employee related? Give us more information... Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StacieO 0 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 Sorry - It can be resident driven or something related to my employees/department. In the past I've done QI projects on 1 to 1 visits (assuring they were done in accordance w/ care plans). Another project that I was involved with was making our pol./procedures all uniform for our facility, that was an interdisciplinary project, but still a QI project. We surveyed residents & did a QI study to determine what was the best time for them to have certain group activities. Another QI project that we did w/ dieatry a few years back invovled re-doing our menus & we had a group of residents work on this project with us. I'm just feeling a bit "dried up" in the fresh ideas area these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tinki Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 Hey in my book I have lot of projects for program improvements. One is the monthly resident participation goal - where you pick one in-active resident a month and write goals and objectivies on how to encourage them to participate, at the end of the month you evaluate their progress. There is a form and explaination in my book. Karen :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wubby1963 0 Report Share Posted July 3, 2005 Well some I did we are doing an inventory of my activity department such as craft supplies and also office supplies and what not. I also did one that I sent out letters to family members asking what kind of family activities they would be interested in attending and also if they thought there were any activities their loved ones would enjoy doing. I did one on resident activity participation breaking it all down to show what activities were most participated in and also what levels of things they needed more of. I did one project on my care plans for that quarter showing if i had everything up to date and filled out. I did one on my volunteers. I sent them out a questionaire on things they did and or wanted to do . I had set fliers out in the community for more volunteers and I also included all of those kind of things to show what I had done to get more volunteers. I also sent out resident satisfaction surveys to give me an idea of what they thought of me and my activities. I hope this helps you out . I had found a book and it was helpful . Any time you can chart the progress on something and sometimes your administrator might have ideas for you . Suzie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
