Scenario

Bluebird home is an aged care facility located in a rural township (population 8,000) in NSW. The town is located 50 km from the nearest larger town. The facility provides care for 100 aged residents, many of whom are some distance from their families and friends. The facility is staffed by registered, enrolled nurses and assistants in nursing, kitchen, cleaning and administrative staff. A Director of Nursing, a Deputy Director of nursing and a business manager oversee the operations of the facility. The services of a diversional therapist, a physiotherapist, a pharmacist and several doctors from the local general practice are employed by the facility.
During a recent accreditation visit, the accreditation team found that residents in the home were at risk of pressure injury as there was no consistent approach to prevention. The lack of consistency posed a risk the safety and quality of resident care.
