February 26th 2020 - Evaluation 2018/2019
The Victoria-South Island Long-term Care Initiative (LTCI) program undertakes a yearly evaluation on a three year cycle of community-level measures, care home-level measures, and provider-level measures. For the 2018/2019 evaluation, the team did a deep dive into care conference (CC) attendance. As one of the Best Practice Expectations (BPE’s) we believe that CC's are both central and pivotal to successfully meeting the overall goals of the LTCI. Overall, 60% of all scheduled CC's during the audit period were attended by MRPs, a relative increase of 300% since year zero of the LTCI 2014/2015.
Individual reports relating to CC attendance have been delivered to all Long-term Care (LTC) Homes and LTC physicians. These reports aim to provide a snapshot in time and inform actions of the LTCI to address structural barriers of CC attendance.
