On Monday, May 19, 2008, The Picker/Commonwealth Fund Quality of Care for Frail Elders (U.S.) program and the Pioneer Network co-hosted an online meeting, "Culture Change in Nursing Homes: How Far Have We Come?"The meeting addressed the issues raised in the Commonwealth Fund's national survey of nursing homes designed to learn more about the penetration of the culture change movement at the national level and measure the extent to which nursing homes are adopting culture change principles and practicing resident-centered care. A representative sample of 1,435 nursing homes was surveyed between February and June 2007.
This site reports the study findings, as well as a recording of the May 19 meeting. Also available at the site are related Commonwealth Fund publications.
