Clinical
Podogeriatric Assessment |

|
Arthur
E. Helfand, DPM. The clinical podogeriatric assessment
protocol has been developed to augment assessment
in the older patient. The objective was to develop
a process to identify foot and related problems
and stratify risk, for those potential
foot problems that might develop as complications
of chronic diseases, associated with older patients.

Quality
Assurance and Improvement Systems (QA-IS.htm) |
| |
|
Restraint
use and compliance with federal regulations may be
monitored as a quality assurance activity. Where there
is deviation from an acceptable threshold of compliance,
the process of seeking improvement should include
problem-solving techniques, such as depicted in Quality
Assurance and Improvement Systems. |

Sample
Activity Schedule (3_SampleSchedule.htm) |
| |
|
Residents
with similar functional levels can be clustered together
in direct care assignments to facilitate implementing
a structured program plan. Although the sample schedules
look similar they are individualized to each group's
cognitive level. |

their specific patients who were subjects; content
analysis was used to develop categories. |

|
Subjective
Experience of Being Restrained (SEBR)
|
| |
|
The
Subjective Experience of Being Restrained (SEBR) is
a structured interview guide used with patients, first
in a hospital study (Strumpf & Evans, 1988) and
then in a subsequent nursing home study (Evans &
Strumpf, 1987; Strumpf et. al., 1997). This instrument
was used to guide the interview, but an open-ended
free flowing discussion was sought with the subject;
the interviews were audiotaped and transcribed for
content analysis. |
