Description
Hampton Terrace Care Centre is committed to excellence in resident care through evidence-based practice. The home has implemented Best Practice Guidelines, supported by Clinical Pathways documentation, which has improved the quality of care that our residents receive.
By adopting The Assessment and Management of Pressure Injuries for the Interprofessional Team and Clinical Pathways Admissions, Delerium, Dementia and Depression in Older Adults and Person-Family Centred Care our staff have been empowered with knowledge-based decision making.
The positive impact on resident outcomes has been demonstrated by more thorough screening, a resident focused approach to care, more effective management of Pressure injuries and by increasing confidence in the skills of our staff.
Solid outcomes influenced by the utilization of evidenced based practice has included: 100% screening for delirium on admission, more thorough history taking, a more resident centered approach such as recognizing indigenous people and their beliefs on admission, preferred names, gender identity, sexual orientation, admission information sheet to communicate to front line staff a more holistic picture of who our residents are and improved identification and assessments of pressure injuries.
Through the implementation of best practice guidelines in our home, the culture of care has been significantly improved. As a result, we have cultivated an environment of evidence informed care including a more open dialogue with staff on how best we can improve resident outcomes using this evidence-based knowledge. At Hampton Terrace, our mission is to promote and enhance resident-focused c and quality of life through excellence, teamwork, integrity and innovation and our work as a Best Practice Spotlight Organization helps us do that.
