The purpose of this project is to identify and map systematic reviews concerning interventions to formal caregivers to detect and continuously monitor health conditions, in order to increase patient safety.

Background

Formal caregivers have regular contact with people who receive care or support within community welfare services, such as nursing homes and assisted livings. Detecting deteriorating health or function is an important part of patient safety. With this evidence map, SBU wants to show which interventions have been evaluated in research.
