The home began its pre-designation journey in the Long-Term-Care Best Practice Spotlight Organization® (LTCBPSO) program in 2016 in partnership with Registered Nurses’ Association of Ontario (RNAO) .  \nAs part of the pre-designation work, staff identified that preventing falls in their home was a priority which aligned with their vision of providing evidence-based care to residents. To address this priority, they re-energized their interdisciplinary falls prevention team, which conducted a gap analysis and reviewed the recommendations in the RNAOs Prevention of Falls and Fall Injuries in the Older Adult best practice guideline (BPG). The team's goal was to reduce the rate of falls and have a positive impact on the quality oflife for residents.  \nThe gap analysis process allowed the team to reviewthe recommendations and helped them gain a better understanding ofthe interventions that could prevent falls in their home. They held a Kaizen event and dedicated a day  \nto identifying priorities and areas for improvement. From this, the team identified falls assessment tools asan area where the home could improve.  \nThe team’s first step was to review the various validated tools for assessing falls risk and determined that the Scott Fall Risk Screening Tool for residential  \nLTC was the best fit for their home. They incorporated the tool into their Point Click Care (PCC) system, and embedded falls prevention interventions based on the tool – as the interventions are chosen, they are  \nautomatically incorporated into the residents’ care plan. The feedback from staff was incredibly positive as they found the newtool was efficient, standardized and helped drive action.  \nAnother focus for the team was to strengthen the overall structure of rounding to improve resident outcomes. Comfortcare rounding, which is  \nperformed hourly with all residents when awake, has eight specific steps:  \n• use opening keywords;  \n• perform scheduled task;  \n• address pain, position, and toileting needs;  \n• assess additional comfort needs;  \n• assess the residents’ personal environment;  \n• close the conversation;  \n• tell the resident when you will be back; and  \n• document the round on the log.  \nIn collaboration with staff and residents, the team developed educational videos demonstrating comfort rounding, interactive skills labs, and one-to-one coaching by a rounding champion. After an initial pilot on three units, they were able to implement comfort care rounding throughout the organization by March 2017.  \nFigure 1: Comfort Care Rounding on 3 Pilot Units  \nContinued on page 2…  \n[RNAO.ca/ltc | p1](RNAO.ca/ltc | p1)  \nBest Practices in Long-Term Care  \nContinued frompage 1…  \nThe results of these changes have been significant not only for residents but for staff members.
