CMS Supports Culture Change • Culture Change is an item on Administrator’s Action Plan – fits with the OBRA law and CMS regulations • We have been educating surveyors through several satellite broadcasts and national regulator teleconferences • Participated in the panel for this research • Co-sponsored with Pioneer Network the Creating Home Symposium
CMS and Culture Change • CMS contractors, the QIOs, did large project on culture change, assisting hundreds of nursing homes • Some staff have visited innovative homes, some have become Eden Associates • Culture Change groups among our stakeholders
How This Research Fits In • We are happy to see so many homes starting or part way along the trail to culture change • The changes they are making help provide more choice and better quality of life for residents and better worklife for staff.
