Change packages synthesize concepts, key changes, and specific examples of change ideas that serve as a resource for organizations embarking on quality improvement projects. Below you will find the first five Residents First change packages. Topics include: Emergency Department Utilization, Consistency of Personal Support Worker Assignment, Preventing Falls, Continence Care, and Preventing Pressure Ulcers. A quick reference poster and change table is also available for each change package.

The changes suggested in the packages, posters, and tables are not mandatory for implementation. They are ideas that have been shown to be effective for solving some of the more common problems facing quality improvement teams. Watch this page for more Resident First change packages as new topics are added to the original five.
