Clinical Trial Summary

Introduction: Efficacy of audit and feedback interventions on nursing home (NH)quality indicators is not well-established.

The main objective: The main purpose of the IQUARE study was to examine the impact of two types of audit and feedback interventions on NH quality indicators and on residents dependence levels in a 18-month follow-up.

Study hypothesis: We hypothesised that audit and feedback associated to educational and professional supportive interventions are more efficacy in improving NH quality indicators than audit and feedback only.

Secondary objectives: Investigate the impact of the interventions on

1. Residents:

- Functional decline rate

- Drug prescriptions (quantity and quality)

- Prevalence of adverse health outcomes (e.g., falls)

2. NHs:

- Planning and implementation of therapeutic measures


Clinical Trial Description

IQUARE is a multicentric individually-tailored controlled trial comparing two types of audit and feedback interventions:

- audit and feedback associated to cooperative work meetings between hospital geriatricians and nursing home (NH) staff in a 6-month intervention (strong intervention)

- audit and feedback only (light intervention) Power statistics and sample size calculations indicated that each group should be composed of at least 2 500 individuals. The strong intervention will last 6 months and is composed of two face-to-face cooperative meetings (hospital geriatricians and NH staff). Data will be collected at baseline and in a 18-month follow-up. ;
