Change percentage

Basic Infection rate

4.37 3.25 26% decrease

Basic fall incident rate

2.80 2.61 7% decrease

Skilled infection rate

7.69 6.19 20% decrease

Skilled fall incident rate 9.03 7.73 15% decrease

Since the bed numbers increased from the old building to this one, I have calculated the rates per 100 resident days.  This gives a true comparison.I then looked over a 12 month period.  June of 2012 thru May of 2011 and compared it to June of 2011 thru May 2012. 

We feel reductions in infection, falls and behavior issues are all related to the environment and culture change.

-Private rooms with their own bathrooms (infect/falls/beh)-Smaller dining rooms vs tray line dining (infect/behaviors)-We have seen decreases in behaviors (residents own space)-The same staff caring for the same resident (happier staff)-Staff relationships and teamwork has improved

-Learning Circles – Creator Action Pact-Higher expectations placed on staff

accountability by peers

On our skilled unit our resident population which is at higher risk for infections has increased.  We now have more residents with tube feeding, IV’s and a few more with urinary catheters.
