Brief Summary

Introduction: Efficacy of audit and feedback interventions on nursing home (NH)quality indicators is not well-established. The main objective: The main purpose of the IQUARE study was to examine the impact of two types of audit and feedback interventions on NH quality indicators and on residents dependence levels in a 18-month follow-up. Study hypothesis: We hypothesised that audit and feedback associated to educational and professional supportive interventions are more efficacy in improving NH quality indicators than audit and feedback only. Secondary objectives: Investigate the impact of the interventions on

  • Functional decline rate
  • Drug prescriptions (quantity and quality)
  • Prevalence of adverse health outcomes (e.g., falls)
  • NHs:
  • Planning and implementation of therapeutic measures

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change from baseline in nursing home quality indicators at 18 months

    Indicators of quality of care in 10 main outcomes: dementia (e.g.,prevalence of cognitive assessment), behavioural disturbances (e.g., prevalence of behavioural disturbances assessment), restraining (e.g., prevalence of restrained residents with a medical prescription for restraining), mood (e.g., prevalence of mood assessment), osteoporosis and falls (e.g., systematic analysis of fall records), nutrition (e.g., prevalence of residents who were weighed ≥ 3 times in the last 3 months), pressure ulcers (e.g., prevalence of residents who were evaluated for the risk of pressure ulcers), pain (e.g., prevalence of residents who were evaluated for pain among residents in end-of-life), medication (e.g., prevalence of re-evaluation of residents' drug prescriptions among residents who take psychotropic), and care and services (e.g., prevalence of hospitalisations in the emergency department in the last 12 months).

    baseline and 18-month follow-up

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Onset of dependence in activities of daily living from baseline to 18 months follow-up

    baseline and 18-month follow-up

Other Outcomes (1)

  • Reduction in the prescription of psychotropic drugs from baseline to 18-month follow-up

    baseline and 18-month follow-up

Study Arms (2)

strong intervention group (SIG)

EXPERIMENTAL

Nursing homes that received audit and feedback information on quality indicators and benefited of cooperative work meetings with hospital geriatricians

Behavioral: Audit and FeedbackBehavioral: Cooperative Work

intervention group (LIG)

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Nursing homes that only received audit and feedback information on quality indicators

Behavioral: Audit and Feedback

Interventions

Descriptive statistics to each nursing home (NH) with regards to its own indicators of quality and residents' health status, and the same descriptive statistics on the sub-regional and regional levels were done to all NHs for comparative purposes.

intervention group (LIG)strong intervention group (SIG)

Nursing homes (NH)in the strong intervention group had two half-day meetings of cooperative work with a hospital geriatrician to identify NHs' weaknesses regarding quality of care and to establish strategies for overcoming these weaknesses.
