Summary

This study is a pilot test of an intervention to engage residents and their family and the healthcare team in a collaborative approach to decisions about care planning in long-term care. The intervention includes leadership coaching with the management team, an educational bundle that includes a one-day education session for staff and managers on communication strategies and ways to engage family and residents in care planning and follow-up visits, and a series of resident and family led huddles (brief, 15 minute meetings) to discuss a care related topic with staff to foster proactive communication and information sharing for care planning.

Resident and Family Engagement Intervention

The leadership coaching component targets managers, administrators/ directors of care in long-term care settings. These sessions involve selecting a subset of relevant performance outcomes from the quality improvement plan that align with leadership vision and priorities for staff performance which leaders can monitor, reinforce and encourage. The education component involves a one-day in-person training session for staff and managers on communication strategies and ways to engage family and residents in care planning, and includes follow-up visits. The huddle component involves a series of resident and family led huddles (brief, 15 minute meetings) to discuss a care related topic with staff to foster proactive communication and information sharing. Resident-family dyads will participate in the huddles, along with the staff and management team who received the training. The huddles will be scheduled for 15 minutes once/month for up to 3 months.
