Vigilan, a software company specializing in administrative programs for Arizona retirement communities, is asking the nursing profession for its ideas on how to improve assisted living, independent living and dementia care.
"Nurses are at the heart of creating quality of life for seniors. We hear some great ideas from nurses about how to improve things," said Doug Fullaway, president and COO of Vigilan. "They have ideas for better training methods, new ways to deliver care, changes to regulations, and ways to make the job of being a nurse better. But we are very aware that nurses are very busy and may not have time to make the improvements they imagine."
Vigilan is offering a survey, available both online and by phone, for nurses to offer their ideas. Once complete, the results will be reported back to the elderly care industry to improve the quality of care for residents and the quality of work for nurses.
Nurses work directly with seniors and are often an untapped source of expertise on the best care for these patients. If you think helping improve the care of the elderly is a challenge you would relish, you might want to consider enrolling in a nursing school.
