Sponsor's own description

BACKGROUND: Prior research has shown a relationship between dehydration, falls and pulmonary aspiration among older adults in nursing and health care facilities, which contributes to its loss of independence and quality-of-life. Is believed that improving communication among health professional decreases the number of adverse events in institutionalized patients. This study will evaluate the feasibility of a set of sign displays designed to communicate fall, dehydration and pulmonary aspiration risks and will reflect on tailored interventions to manage these events in nursing homes. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: This will be a national, single-center, feasibility study. All patients, with chronic neurologic diseases selected from a nursing home, will be invited to participate. At baseline patients will undertake a screening risk assessment and it will be attributed a correspondent risk display. Study duration will be a minimum of 3 months per participant, including daily record of events and monthly interview assessments. Events data will be compared with historical data extracted retrospectively from medical and nursing charts.
