✅   Developing a data-informed care planning improvement intervention in long-term care in Nova Scotia: protocol for an advisory-led interpretive qualitative study

science

Introduction The quality of care provided in long-term care (LTC) homes has been a concern for many years, and the COVID-19 pandemic has further raised awareness of this issue. Care planning helps identify and prioritise areas to improve LTC residents’ health. Data are routinely collected to support care planning, for example, the interRAI LTC facilities instrument and real-time location systems. However, the best way to use these data to inform care planning and decision-making while including residents and family members remains elusive. This study aims to develop a data-informed care planning improvement intervention that uses routinely collected data to guide resident-centred care planning in LTC.
