The objective of this best practice implementation project was to improve dieticians' professional practice and dietary care through the use of counseling strategies.

This study aimed to identify how aged care organizations can foster a culture that supports the implementation of innovation.

The lack of a consistent and effective assessment tool for older adults with dementia in home care in Taiwan, and the inability of home care nurses to provide pharmacological and non-pharmacological pain management, may affect the quality of life of patients with dementia.

Ambulatory care settings are at high risk for errors when identifying patients and matching them to their intended care.

Effective delirium management is crucial, considering its association with adverse outcomes. Adherence to best practices has the potential to reduce the incidence and prevalence of delirium and improve health outcomes.

The aim of this project was to improve the self-management of diabetes among elderly residents in a Belgian home for the aged.

Among the complications associated with transradial artery access, radial artery occlusion (RAO) is the most frequent and serious, limiting the reuse of the same radial artery for subsequent procedures and as a graft for coronary artery bypass grafting.

More than 80% of patients experience post-surgical pain. Poor pain control decreases patients' quality of life; increases associated comorbidity, hospital length of stay and hospital costs; and delays functional recovery. Implementing evidence-based recommendations improves these negative factors as well as the patient's quality of life.

Non-pharmacological interventions are the preferred treatment for constipation; however, health care professionals in clinical settings tend to focus more on pharmacological treatments.

Uptake of virtual care solutions in primary care settings has increased exponentially, and current evidence suggests high patient satisfaction but mixed clinician views.

The occiput-posterior (OP) fetal position is the most frequent form of labor dystocia. This position has been associated with delaying the second stage of labor and adverse outcomes.

Peripheral central venous catheters are common vascular access devices used in patients with tumors. To prevent catheter shedding and displacement, it is essential to use medical adhesives to secure the catheters. Repeated adhesion and removal of medical adhesives can weaken the barrier function of the skin, leading to medical adhesive-related skin injuries (MARSI), which can increase the patients' pain and medical expenses.

This project aimed to improve physicians' adherence to evidence-based practices regarding the selection and administration of intra-articular knee injections for patients with osteoarthritis. The project also aimed to empower patients by increasing their awareness of these evidence-based practices.

Falling out of bed is the most common unintentional cause of injury among patients and is a major safety problem in health care facilities. Current practices for fall prevention may not always be aligned with established best practices, leading to variability in patient outcomes. This uncertainty underscores the need to assess and improve compliance with best practice guidelines for fall prevention.

Falls are the main cause of disability among psychiatric patients, as well as being the most common adverse event in hospitals.

Vaccination during pregnancy is recommended but uptake is low and evidence on the topic is limited.

Intraventricular hemorrhages remain a major problem in neonatology, because their complications affect neonatal morbidity, mortality, and long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes.

With the wide application of iodine contrast media (ICM), the occurrence of allergic-like reactions to iodine contrast media (ALR-ICM) has increased. Strategies for the prevention and management of ALR-ICM need to be identified to provide quality care to patients undergoing enhanced computed tomography.

Heart failure affects thousands of patients annually, often resulting in hospitalization, emergency room visits, and decreased quality of life. The scientific evidence indicates that disease management programs using a multidisciplinary approach improve outcomes for heart failure patients.

The objective of this study was to identify the key characteristics of leaders that support the implementation of innovations in aged care settings.
