Idlewyld Manor: 2026/27 Quality Improvement Priorities
Reducing Avoidable Emergency Department (ED) Transfers
Current Performance: The Home's ED transfer remains below (better than) the provincial average.
Our Goal: Maintain performance below the provincial average.
What We're Doing:
- This year, we will review each Emergency Department visit to better understand reasons for transfer and how we can continue to support care within the Home
- We will bring our care teams together regularly to look at trends, learn from these experiences, and make improvements to support safe, timely care
Expansion of Training Provided on EDI, Anti-Racism and Indigenous Cultural Safety
Reducing Use of Antipsychotics
Current Performance: The percentage of residents taking a regular antipsychotic medication is 26%, with steady improvement over the past year.
Our Goal: Reduce the percent of residents on these medications to 20%.
What We're Doing:
- This year, we will strengthen regular medication reviews to ensure medications are still needed, used safely, and adjusted when appropriate to best support each resident's well-being
- We will begin expanding the Living and Working Well education series for staff to support more non-medication approaches in everyday care
Prevention of Wounds
Current Performance: The rate of worsened stage 2 to 4 pressure ulcers remains above the provincial average.
Our Goal: To decrease the percentage from 3.74% to 3.30% to reach the provincial average.
What We Are Doing:
- This year, we will ensure residents at higher risk have personalized repositioning plans in place to support comfort, skin health, and prevention
- We will bring our care team together weekly to review any new pressure injuries, understand what may have contributed, and take action to support healing and prevent further issues
