Phase Two – Resources

In the DO phase, your IPPI team will:

  • Communicate information about the project to all care team members
  • Review each participating resident’s important preferences
  • Select meaningful activities matched to each person’s preferences
  • Begin carrying out IPPI activities led by direct care workers. 

Also, Molly Noble, project manager, will be in touch to set up monthly coaching calls. She’ll help you troubleshoot implementation barriers and answer questions along the way.  

Below are the resources you’ll need for the DO phase. Consult the IPPI Guidebook for information on how to use this material. If you have questions, contact Molly Noble, project manager: nobleme2@miamioh.edu.
