Dashboards are commonly used in healthcare to monitor and respond to safety and quality data, but few data describe how to best implement dashboards in home infusion therapy. We developed a dashboard for a collaborative of home infusion agencies to monitor an important safety outcome, central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI). We used the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to understand key components of implementing a CLABSI surveillance dashboard in a home infusion therapy environment. We interviewed seven primary users of the dashboard to understand how the dashboard was implemented, including barriers and facilitators to its implementation. In this qualitative analysis, we used elements of the TAM to develop a new framework that describes how a dashboard can be implemented and used in a healthcare setting to support others who are developing and implementing quality or safety dashboards in home infusion therapy settings.

Peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) and midline catheters are widely utilized for intravenous treatment in home care settings. Despite their similar appearance, these devices differ significantly due to the tip location, which influences the types of infusions that can be safely administered. It is important for home care nurses to have a comprehensive understanding of these differences to ensure safety. The role of home care nurses extends beyond clinical management to encompass education and support for health consumers and their families. Health consumers living with a PICC have reported a wide range of unmet needs, including the requirement for further clinical and practical information as well as support to comprehend the education provided. Health consumers have also reported unmet practical needs, with challenges in adapting daily life such as showering and sleeping. Individuals living with the device and their family may also have unmet emotional needs with support required to ensure well-being. It is important that home care nurses and other clinicians appreciate the supportive care needs of individuals living with a vascular access device and their families. Addressing these needs is paramount to ensure the delivery of safe, high-quality care in the home.

This study explored the impact of physical therapist (PT)-led education on urinary incontinence (UI) and fall risk in community-dwelling older adults. Thirty adults aged 60 and older, referred from senior community centers, participated in a prospective pilot study. Participants received a 1-hour PT-led educational session in the home environment focusing on UI risk mitigation, including exercise, dietary irritants, and environmental modifications. The intervention led to statistically significant improvements in confidence across all areas, with participant identified key learning outcomes related to UI exercises (90%), dietary irritants (52%), and general UI education (41%). This study demonstrates that PTs, even without specialized pelvic health certification, can positively influence older adults' confidence in managing UI and its related risks, which may reduce fall risk. The results highlight the potential of PT-led education to improve older adults' management of UI and prevent falls.
