Little is known about these residents although they are among the most vulnerable older adults generally and especially in long term care.

New TREC Publication: Pain trajectories of nursing home residents nearing death
Thompson GN, Doupe M, Reid RC, Baumbusch J, Estabrooks CA
Journal of the American Medical Directors Association, 18(8), 700-706.
Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES:
Although examining point in time prevalence of pain among nursing home (NH) residents has value, there is a lack of evidence describing the actual changes (ie, trajectories) in pain that take place during their last 6 months of life. The main objective of this study is to describe the major pain trajectories experienced by NH residents during their last 6 months of life.
DESIGN:
Secondary analysis of Resident Assessment Instrument-Minimum Data Set (MDS) 2.0…

CIHR Project Grant: Practical and effective approaches to longitudinal monitoring for quality of care near end of life in nursing home settings. Estabrooks, C.A. (NPI), Berta, W., Chamberlain, S., Cummings, G.G., Gruneir, A., Hoben, M., Lo, T., Norton, P.G., Poss, J., Silvius, J., Teare, G. ($495,000).
Summary
Research goals
The overall goal of this work is to develop a set of quality measures to monitor the trajectory of modifiable symptom burden and potentially inappropriate care practices at the end of life (EoL) in nursing homes (NHs). To meet this goal, we will consult with residents, family members, and other NH experts to identify highly burdensome symptoms and inappropriate care practices at EoL from Resident Assessment Instrument – Minimum Dataset (RAI-MDS) 2.0 data. These…
