A Working Group is active in the Nursing Home with the specific task of monitoring and analysing all potentially dangerous events reported as potential or actual risks.  The Working Group implements initiatives and promotes improvement actions aimed at reducing risks and improving healthcare quality standards.

The Working Group works closely with the Hospital Infections Control Committee (CIO) and is also responsible for reporting adverse and sentinel events to designated institutional bodies.

The following improvement measures have been implemented:

• Frequent handwashing and disinfection with alcoholic gel by all health staff. The installation of alcohol gel dispensers in the corridors available to all users, since hand hygiene is an important measure to prevent infections.
• Patient identification wristbands applied to the arm of patients upon admission. These are of paramount importance to avoid identification errors. 
• Evaluating the risk of falls and the implementation of measures to prevent falls in the hospital.
• Adoption of a medical surgical safety checklist to prevent errors during surgeries.
• A Single Treatment Card to avoid errors in medical prescriptions and the administration of treatment.
• Assessing the risk of pressure ulcers and sores and adopting of preventive measures. Participation in the "SICHER" regional programme to monitor surgical site infections.
• Adoption of an internal risk management plan to prevent Legionnaires’ disease.
• Adoption of specific therapeutic protocols to prevent Embolism risk.

The concept of humanisation of healthcare services considers the person as a complex being and pays particular attention to the person’s physical, emotional and psychological wellbeing.

In this respect, Prof. Nobili Nursing Home has identified several areas of intervention in the humanisation of healthcare.

Among the various areas of intervention identified, the following internal improvement actions have been carried out:

• The total elimination of architectural barriers to improve physical accessibility, liveability and comfort, and the maintenance of catering services within the nursing home.
• Improvements in access to information, simplification and transparency, by reducing delivery times of required clinical documentation and medical reports, with the possibility of transmission through electronic means.
• Paying attention to relationships with patients and citizens by adopting information and complaints handling procedures.
• Taking diversity into account by providing personalised meals and diets, and respecting the cultural and religious needs of patients.
• Creation of a new website and the latest edition of the service card, also available in English.

User involvement and protection plays a significant role in the Nursing Home’s policy. Patients actively participate in the policy by suggesting possible improvements and expressing their opinion on services offered through the compilation of specific questionnaires.

Complaints may be delivered directly to the head nurse, ward doctors, admissions office or sent via email to the following address: mail@casadicuranobili.it

The Nursing Home guarantees that each complaint receives an adequate response and undertakes to take the necessary measures to avoid the recurrence of inefficiencies and ensure continuous customer service improvements.
