Long-Term Care Survey Alert

CLINICAL GEM:

Track Residents Toileting Schedules

Place cardboard "alarm clocks" labeled odd or even on the doors of residents who require toileting. The caregiver moves the hands of the clock each time she toilets the resident. The nurse in charge can then see if a clock is behind schedule.
