Number of clinicians trained; Measuring staff confidence & conviction in delivering Teach-back using an evidence-based tool; Audit client medical records to seek evidence of completion of self-management care plans and Participant self- reporting by post training surveys measuring the application of knowledge and skills learnt into the clinical setting will be the measures used to determine the efficacy of the program. Within six months a working prototype that can provide a read out of basic positions > 90% accuracy in a healthy individual’s torso in bed with

It is envisaged that the program will improve the capacity and develop highly skilled clinicians in delivering self-management support educational program. It will provide clinicians with opportunities to enhance their skills and knowledge in delivering patient-centred self-management support to improve client/patient health and experience.

develop skills and enhance knowledge to enable the delivery of self–management programs.

PRESSURE INJURY SMART

This prototype smart sensor is an automated monitoring and recording system with internet capability and was able to provide a read out of basic positions >90% accuracy in a healthy torso. It is at research and development phase and will be further refined prior to implementation across the LHD.

Pressure Injury acquisition remains an area of concern in WSLHD. A smart sensor map was prototyped to address the multifactorial issues influencing pressure injury rates at WSLHD.
