The What, Why and How of Consistent Assignment

If you ever wanted a quick, clear, jargon-free way to explain consistent assignment to someone else – or if you’re not too sure about it yourself — you might want to check out the new two-page fact sheet (pdf) from the Advancing Excellence in America’s Nursing Homes campaign.

The fact sheet is part of a series that lay out the goals of the campaign. Consistent assignment, which is goal #8, is defined as ensuring that ”residents see the same caregivers (registered nurse, licensed practical nurse or certified nurse aide) or team of caregivers almost every time they are on duty” in order to “build and sustain relationships between individual residents, their families and friends and nurse aides.”
