What should be done if other residents are marked FI for the complaint allegation care area?

When other residents are marked as needing further investigation (FI) for a particular complaint allegation care area, sampling three residents is a methodical approach to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the situation. By selecting three residents, you increase the likelihood of gathering a representative sample that can provide valuable insights into the issue at hand. This sample size allows for a more robust analysis of patterns or trends related to the complaint, which can be critical for a thorough investigation.

A larger sample size reduces the risk of drawing conclusions based on insufficient data, which might lead to overlooking significant concerns or variations in experiences among the residents. The chosen approach demonstrates due diligence in addressing the care area in question while also highlighting the interconnectedness of the residents' experiences, ultimately leading to a more effective resolution of the complaint.

Smaller sample sizes, such as one or two residents, may not capture the full scope of the issues present, potentially leaving out critical perspectives or information, which can hinder the efficacy of complaint resolution measures. Thus, sampling three residents is the most effective strategy in this context for ensuring a comprehensive assessment and protecting resident welfare.
