Transforming Care at the Bedside (TCAB) is a national program that was developed by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the Institute for Healthcare Improvement. The program goal is to engage front-line hospital nurses and leaders at all levels of the organization to:
• Improve the quality and safety of patient care on medical and surgical units.
• Increase the vitality and retention of nurses.
• Engage and improve the patient’s experience of care.
• Improve the effectiveness of the entire care team.
In Oregon, TCAB is managed by the Oregon Association of Hospitals and Health Systems. The current TCAB initiative is based on the experience and widespread success of 117 hospitals who participated in the pilot program. Since 2008, TCAB has been offered to hospitals through Aligning Forces for Quality (AF4Q), a national program of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. In Oregon, AF4Q is managed by the Oregon Health Care Quality Corporation.
Hospitals that have implemented TCAB consistently report positive outcomes on the participating units, such as decreased falls and pressure ulcers, increased time spent by nurses in direct patient care, and increased patient and nursing satisfaction.
