Ontario’s Centres for Learning, Research and Innovation in Long-Term Care contribute toward enhancing the quality of care in the LTC sector through: Education, research, innovation, evidence-based service delivery and knowledge transfer BAYCREST Facilitating collaboration between researchers, educators, LTC home personnel and other practitioners in the development, adoption and continuous improvement of evidencebased best practices that increase efficiency, effectiveness, sustainability and quality of care BRUYÈRE SCHLEGEL Ontario’s Centres for Learning, Research and Innovation in Long-Term Care | www.clri-ltc.ca What is a Teaching LTC Home? • Fundamental concepts: linking and creating synergy between the separate spheres of research, clinical care and education and training • Typical outcomes – – – – Research to improve care Increase knowledge of the workforce Quality education and clinical experiences for students Enhanced quality of care Source: Chilvers & Jones 1997; Barnett 2014 BAYCREST BRUYÈRE SCHLEGEL Ontario’s Centres for Learning, Research and Innovation in Long-Term Care | www.clri-ltc.ca Why Teaching LTC Homes? • Aging population • Increasing complexity of residents and chronic illnesses • Challenges with recruitment to and retention in LTC • Improve training and skills of interdisciplinary care teams • Social devaluing of LTC and lack of prestige with geriatric care • Competition for HHR from other providers/sectors • Lack of collaboration among educational/research institutions and LTC Source: Early Leaders Forum Report 2011 BAYCREST BRUYÈRE SCHLEGEL Ontario’s Centres for Learning, Research and Innovation in Long-Term Care | www.clri-ltc.ca Why Teaching LTC Homes? “Good health care is a combination of good systems and processes; good clinical practice; and good resident/patient engagement. With a reputation for scoring highly in all three areas, long term care homes are well positioned to offer quality on-the-job educational opportunities to Canada’s future health care professionals. Every-one – long term care homes, colleges and universities, Canada’s health care system and, most importantly, residents – will reap the benefits.” Source: Chambers, 2010 BAYCREST BRUYÈRE SCHLEGEL Ontario’s Centres for Learning, Research and Innovation in Long-Term Care | www.clri-ltc.ca Origins of the Movement • Early 1960s – veterans’ nursing homes and affiliated veterans’ hospitals – Improve knowledge about long term care of older people – Increase number of qualified aged care providers • 1980s – several TNH examples in the US – Two most comprehensive and influential • National Institute on Aging TNH Program – Focus on multidisciplinary research to inform geriatric care (++ physicians) • Robert Wood Johnson TNH Program – Supported students and workforce education (++ nursing) Source: Barnett 2014, Mezey & Lynaugh 1989 BAYCREST BRUYÈRE SCHLEGEL Ontario’s Centres for Learning, Research and Innovation in Long-Term Care | www.clri-ltc.ca Other Countries -Norway – Started in 1996, emphasis on planning stage – Piloted nationally with 5 TNH 1999-2003 – Permanent feature of aged care system as of 2004 – Main goals • Improve competence of staff • Enhance prestige of working in aged care (increase recruitment/retention) • Create a culture in NH conducive to developing services informed by research • Developing good learning environments for students Source: Barnett 2014, Early Leaders Forum 2011, http://www.utviklingssenter.no BAYCREST BRUYÈRE SCHLEGEL Ontario’s Centres for Learning, Research and Innovation in Long-Term Care | www.clri-ltc.ca Other Countries – Norway (cont’d) – Network of TNH (one in each county) providing leadership for the aged care sector – Hub model – Role includes dissemination of research findings and clinical expertise to impact sector – Recently expanded (2011) to include home and community care; “Centre for Development of Institutional and Home Care Services” Source: Barnett 2014, Early Leaders Forum 2011, http://www.utviklingssenter.no BAYCREST BRUYÈRE SCHLEGEL Ontario’s Centres for Learning, Research and Innovation in Long-Term Care | www.clri-ltc.ca Other Countries - Australia • Teaching and Research Aged Care Services (TRACS) • Combine teaching, research, clinical care and service delivery in one location to operate as a learning environment, to support clinical placements and professional development activities in various disciplines. • 2011/12 to 2014/15 – 16 TRACS projects (spread across country) + national evaluation Source: https://www.dss.gov.au/our-responsibilities/ageing-and-aged-care/tools-and-resources/agedcare-workforce-fund/teaching-and-research-aged-care-services-tracs BAYCREST BRUYÈRE SCHLEGEL Ontario’s Centres for Learning, Research and Innovation in Long-Term Care | www.clri-ltc.ca Other Countries – Australia (cont’d) • Key Elements – support training and professional development in a range of disciplines (e.g., nursing, psychology, medicine, physiotherapy, occupational therapy) – aged care specific curriculum development – clinical training in residential and community care settings – inter-professional learning and participation by aged care employees in teaching, learning and research • Evaluation – practical strategies and processes that help the aged care sector operate as a learning environment to facilitate high quality clinical training professional development opportunities; and deliver benefits to industry, students, staff and care recipients.
