- Abstract
The purpose of this doctoral capstone project was to collaborate with a nursing home facility to implement naloxone education for nursing home staff. Research indicates there continues to be an increase in opioid presence in the Cuyahoga County area. I worked with MetroHealth’s Office of Opioid Safety, the county hospital in Cleveland, Ohio, and IPRO QIN-QIO, a federally funded Medicare Quality Innovation Network, to implement the “Nursing Home Naloxone Policy and Procedure Toolkit” into Eliza Jennings Nursing Home. I created a resource binder, completed four in-services to train and educate nursing staff on the new policy and procedures, and used a pre- and post-survey to assess knowledge gained from the presentation. The in-services yielded a 17% increase in knowledge, and staff reported feeling confident with using naloxone in an overdose situation. The results imply that there is a need for more education in nursing home staff on naloxone.
