Nursing homes continue to:

1. Implement the pain management or pressure ulcer prevention clinical practice guideline (CPG); and
   
2. Collect process of care data on both pain and pressure ulcer care.

Erin Blume, Research Projects Coordinator, touches base with the nursing homes periodically to ensure that they are on schedule and do not have any questions.

Project staff continue to develop the two manuscripts described previously in this e-Newsletter:

1. Recruitment barriers; and
   
2. Coalition experiences.

We are also hard at work planning our next face-to-face meeting with our National Quality Coalition colleagues; see Upcoming Events.
