Summary
This pilot study tested a toolbox designed to help nursing homes in Switzerland collect better data on key quality measures like pain and medication use. The toolbox uses a train-the-trainer approach, where experts train staff who then teach their coworkers. The study involved 22 participants and focused on whether the toolbox was acceptable, feasible, and cost-effective. It did not test any drug or treatment, but aimed to improve how care quality is measured.
