About the Program The Empira Fall Prevention program is a combination of nationally recognized evidence-based, fallprevention practices and practical applications from numerous research studies. NCHCFA is pleased to once again partner with Empira to present a full-day seminar for all long-term care providers on RESTORING QUAILITY SLEEP-IMPROVING RESIDENT CARE AND QUALITY OF LIFE. Growing evidence from medical research points to the importance of sleep and the devastating impact inadequate sleep and rest has on the lives of all human beings. The National Institute of Health notes, Seniors who get fewer than six hours of quality sleep at night have a 50% increased risk of viral infections and increased risk of heart disease and stroke. Poor sleep is also associated with a poorer quality of life. CMS and senior service providers have never considered sleep hygiene as an integral part of the plan of care and services provided to the resident. The MDS 3.0, with over 500 inquiries, only mentions the word sleep three times in the entire document and it contains no reference to a sleep assessment. Empira s consortium of 23 skilled nursing homes has come to the forefront in recognizing that a good night s sleep is one of the most important health benefits we can offer our residents. Empira s, Restorative Sleep Vitality Program (RSVP) has two primary goals: provide uninterrupted sleep at night and increase wakeful daytime activities for our residents. They are challenging and changing some of the long held standards of care practices in order to achieve these goals. This Restorative Sleep Vitality Program is a three year quality improvement project funded through the MN Department of Human Services Performance Incentive Payment Program (PIPP). This session will cover the following: Restate the key components of the Empira Fall Prevention program. Explain the process that leads to the Empira Restorative Sleep Vitality Program. Discuss the etiology of sleep and wake in human beings. Identify the key components of the Empira Restorative Sleep Vitality Program. The top 10 disturbances to sleep. Five operational actions a long-term care provider can do to prevent sleep disturbance.
