This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR) under CFDA 93.361 - Nursing Research provides funding to Linked Senior Inc. to develop a digital tool called COMPASS (Care Preference Assessment of Satisfaction) for integrating resident preferences to improve service delivery and satisfaction in long-term care settings.
The $275,621 grant will be used to establish the feasibility of COMPASS by conducting focus groups to define organizational needs, expanding the pilot digital tool to capture and summarize resident preference data, and conducting a field test in 4 long-term care facilities to assess the short-term impact. The goal is to create a streamlined solution that enables long-term care staff to better understand and act on resident preferences, ultimately improving the quality of care and resident satisfaction. Successful implementation and demonstration of impact could lead to full commercialization of COMPASS in a future Phase II project.
