FAILURE TO MONITOR CAN UNDERMINE THE PROGRAM
The procedures for monitoring the FIT program are similar to those for monitoring our walking program (see Step 4 of the walking program). The rationale for ongoing program assessment is virtually the same as well: That is, in its absence, certified nurse aides (CNAs) may backslide and fail to consistently implement the protocols for FIT.
Studies in other fields have shown that old habits are hard to break and new ones are hard to maintain if you don't get timely feedback about how you're doing, including reinforcement for doing things right and recommendations for improvement if you're doing things wrong. This feedback loop is a hallmark of continuous quality improvement programs. Creating such a loop is the purpose of this step.
