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).

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…
