Summary
Kay Khan, Head of Improvement Programme Delivery at East Midlands Academic Health Science Network, explores two new ‘React To’ resources they’ve developed to support care homes and their staff to improve the safety of residents.
"Care home staff know their residents really well, and by using deterioration management tools like RESTORE2mini they can spot and record the warning signs, and crucially, use a structured communication tool like SBARD to relay their concerns to a GP or other healthcare professional.
"In the East Midlands, we have worked with health and social care design specialists Crocodile House over the last few years to produce a series of resources for care homes called ‘React To’. These cover a wide range of topics such as falls, frailty and infection. We’re excited to launch our latest two modules, which include ‘React to Managing Deterioration’ – information and training about frailty, advance care planning, and how to recognise and escalate those soft signs".
