Background & Aims: Proactive Care Home Pilot
• 19 Care Homes (extra care, residential and nursing homes) across 3 Inner London Boroughs
• Addressing the needs of 1000 care home residents
• Overall Proactive Care Home Pilot Aims:
1. Standardise care provision across homes
2. Target cause of non-elective preventable acute admission / A&E attendance
3. Ensure consistent skill set amongst care home staff
• Project is underpinned by principles:
1. Mutual respect between participants
2. Autonomy of residents and their carers
3. The need for proactive care to prevent urgent care

Falls Prevention Model
• Train care home teams in using a multifactorial falls risk assessment approach
• Embed individualised falls risk assessments & care planning for ALL residents
• Embed routine root cause analysis of ALL falls in the homes
• Target therapy assessment & management for those residents most at risk of falling
• Upskill care home staff to offer person centred evidence based falls prevention in homes:
– Engage staff to undertake an accredited falls prevention exercise qualification to enable care home residents to participate in strength & balance training
– Falls prevention education for all staff
– Promotion of other courses e.g. Trusted Assessor
– Provision of falls prevention resources and written information

Project KPIs
8
• Metrics to evaluate the impact of the care homes pilot are in the table below:
• Final evaluation for the project will take place in December 2014.
• Interim results are being presented on a quarterly basis, so there are limitations to what is currently known.

Interim Outcomes - All
11
• Overall results are difficult to interpret due to some missing data from
historical datasets (dating back pre-project).
• For those homes for which there is a complete data set (over varying
amounts of time) there is evidence of change but the change is not
always favourable (see the table below):
![Page 12: Proactive Falls Prevention in Care Homes (CLCH) › system › files › moseley.pdf · Role of the environment in falls prevention. Clin Geriatr Med 1996; 12 :859–80. • Dromerick](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042403/5f17536bbee8604c5a21b563/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Qualitative Evidence
Resident survey showed 56% point increased satisfaction for residents regarding knowing their own care plans
Staff survey showed 16% point increase in reporting that care was being proactively managed
‘We have become a good team, all of us the doctor and the physio and the pharmacist’ (Care home manager)
‘I get a bit of learning from the nurses […] I learn other pathways and how to care for these people. The falls team is excellent […] I’ve learned new ways of caring for some of the patients in a way’ (GP)
‘It is a good opportunity to build a relationship with health professionals and even when we finish the project it’s going to continue’ (Care home manager)

Value added
• MDGs plus integrated care planning = Right Care at Right Time by Right People
• Bespoke training for care home staff beyond common falls risk factors e.g. Challenging Behaviour/Dementia & falls, how to assess a resident post fall
• While outside of the scope, we have also… – Instigated an audit of equipment within the care homes to highlight gaps
– Assisted in demystifying safeguarding practices across providers within care homes to improve care quality & enable shared learning
– Been able to open discussions with Commissioners regarding evolving short falls in the care home contractual agreements e.g. variation in how homes access funds when residents’ needs change

Next Steps
Outcomes • Review of Q2 update to
identify possible reasons for changes and implement more widely
– AHPs
– Care Home Staff
– Other Process Indicators
• Final evaluation due Dec 14 which will inform decision making around service continuation/ commissioning intentions
Processes
• Equipment gap???? (solution =? Trusted assessor training)
• Commissioned in homes
• Policies re: post fall protocol
Other:
• Share learning through publishing Proactive Care Pilot results & barriers/recommendations for practice
