- Conditions
- falls, aspiration pneumonia, pressure ulcers, dehydration, and fever
- Registration Number
- JPRN-UMIN000034846
- Lead Sponsor
- Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare
- Brief Summary
1. Facilities with risk managers scored better than facilities without risk manager in all of the following including fully implementing R4 system (odds ratio=with risk manager 1.50, without risk manager 0.10), using the risk manual booklet published by Zenroken (odds ratio=2.26 with risk manager, 0.53 without risk manager), and implementing risk management measures at the time of care planning (odds ratio=0.85 with RM, 0.53 without risk manager). 2. Facilities following standard risk management processes (intervention group) scored better than facilities not following standard risk management processes in all of the following including fully implementing R4 system (odds ratio=intervention 2.52, non-intervention 0.08), using Risk manual booklet (odds rate = intervention 1.48, non-intervention 0.74). In short, facilities with risk manager(s), and facilities following risk management processes are providing better quality of service in terms of risk management for elderly people. 3. However we could not observe reductions in personal outcomes such as number of falls, aspiration pneumonia or pressure ulcers as a result of intervention in this study.
