Promoting Positive Care Interactions (PPCI) in Assisted Living

"The PPCI consists of four steps: (1) stakeholder engagement in developing facility specific goals; (2) environment and policy assessments; (3) flexible staff education; and (4) ongoing mentorship, motivation, and support (in-person visits and text messages) for staff to optimize care interactions.~A research nurse facilitator (RNF), a registered nurse (RN) with prior experience in long-term care will work with an identified internal champion monthly to implement the four steps of PPCI. The PPCI intervention comprehensively focuses on intrapersonal, interpersonal, organizational, and environmental/policy factors to bring together evidence and key stakeholders to optimize daily care interactions in assisted living."

The EO will include a 30-45 min in-service session and monthly f/u visits for booster education. The education content and process will be the same as outlined in Step 3 of the PPCI for treatment sites.
