The Safer Care for Older Persons in residential Environments (SCOPE) project aims to evaluate the success of a locally led quality improvement model. This year, the project will be launched in Manitoba where 90% of the facilities have been recruited so far. Quality improvement teams are beginning to form at each of the recruited facilities. The Quality Advisor (Michael Haip) has begun meeting with each of the teams to help them to think about an area they would like to work towards improving within their units as part of the SCOPE project. Teams can select from one of three quality improvement areas: Pain, Behavior, or Mobility, and will be provided tools and guidance to help make their selection. Information sessions are currently being held at the SCOPE facilities to inform other staff about the project and to introduce the quality improvement teams. Planning is underway for the upcoming Learning Congress, which will take place on February 8th and 9th in Winnipeg. Everyone is looking forward to formally kicking-off the project at the event!
