Summary

Introduction: Efficacy of audit and feedback interventions on nursing home (NH)quality indicators is not well-established.

The main objective: The main purpose of the IQUARE study was to examine the impact of two types of audit and feedback interventions on NH quality indicators and on residents dependence levels in a 18-month follow-up.

Study hypothesis: We hypothesised that audit and feedback associated to educational and professional supportive interventions are more efficacy in improving NH quality indicators than audit and feedback only.

Secondary objectives: Investigate the impact of the interventions on

1. Residents:

* Functional decline rate
* Drug prescriptions (quantity and quality)
* Prevalence of adverse health outcomes (e.g., falls)
2. NHs:

* Planning and implementation of therapeutic measures

Conditions

  • Quality Indicators
  • Physical Disability

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Audit and Feedback

Descriptive statistics to each nursing home (NH) with regards to its own indicators of quality and residents' health status, and the same descriptive statistics on the sub-regional and regional levels were done to all NHs for comparative purposes.

BEHAVIORAL

Cooperative Work

Nursing homes (NH)in the strong intervention group had two half-day meetings of cooperative work with a hospital geriatrician to identify NHs' weaknesses regarding quality of care and to establish strategies for overcoming these weaknesses.
