LTC Culture Change to Reduce Hospitalizations Using Person-Centered Care Webinar

LTC Culture Change to Reduce Hospitalizations Using Person-Centered Care 

Webinar: November 14th, 12:00-1:00 MT
Hosted by the Colorado Health Care Association

Hospitalizations can be a detriment to long-term care residents, impacting their quality of life and resulting in earlier mortality, immobility, or cognitive decline. Assisted living must think about addressing both acute and chronic care while remaining a social model. Now is the time to seek out partnerships with other providers to provide distance monitoring to support the care provided in assisted living so residents can be cared for and not unnecessarily transferred to the hospital. These interventions can be person-centered and individualized.

Learning Objectives:
  • Understand the importance of safely reducing hospital readmissions. 
  • Learn about how the tools from the INTERACT™ program, POLST, and others can be used in continuing education. 
  • Examine attitudes and individual beliefs about caring for the elderly and the impact these have on culture change
