THE NORTH CAROLINA HEALTH CARE FACILITIES ASSOCIATION PRESENTS PRESENTED BY: SUE ANN GUILDERMANN, RN, BA, MA EMPIRA, INC. May 19, 2016 HILTON CHARLOTTE UNIVERSITY PLACE 8629 J M KEYNES DRIVE CHARLOTTE, NC 28262
About the Program NCHCFA is pleased to once again partner with Empira to present a full-day seminar for all long-term care providers on UNDISTURBED SLEEP & ACTIVE DAYS-KEYS TO IMPROVE QUALITY OF LIFE OF OUR RESIDENTS, which was a direct result from the findings of their previous Fall Prevention program. The goals of this grant-funded quality improvement project were to have residents sleep undisturbed throughout the night and be more physically active and engaged during the day. Learn how they changed operations in providing care and services to reach these goals. Growing evidence from medical research points to the importance of sleep and the devastating impact inadequate sleep and rest has on the lives of all human beings. The National Institute of Health notes, Seniors who get fewer than six hours of quality sleep at night have a 50% increased risk of viral infections and increased risk of heart disease and stroke. Poor sleep is also associated with a poorer quality of life. CMS and senior service providers have never considered sleep hygiene as an integral part of the plan of care and services provided to the resident. The MDS 3.0, with over 500 inquiries, only mentions the word sleep three times in the entire document and it contains no reference to a sleep assessment. Empira s consortium of 23 skilled nursing homes has come to the forefront in recognizing that a good night s sleep is one of the most important health benefits we can offer our residents. They are challenging and changing some of the long held standards of care practices and challenging regulatory requirements in order to achieve these goals. This session will cover the following: Restate the key components of the Empira Fall Prevention program. Explain the process that leads to the Empira Restorative Sleep Vitality Program. Discuss the etiology of sleep and wake in human beings. Identify the key components of the Empira Restorative Sleep Vitality Program. The top 10 disturbances to sleep. Five operational actions a long-term care provider can do to prevent sleep disturbance.
