Developed for Quality Partners of Rhode Island, this toolkit incorporates experiences and lessons learned in over 400 nursing homes. It is designed to serve as a resource for homes just getting started with efforts to reverse turnover as well as employers who have already started to address recruitment and retention and need further assistance in a specific area.
It incorporates and applies concepts and practices based on the work of Susan Eaton, Ph.D. who, in 2002, completed a study comparing practices at high and low turnover nursing homes in the same labor market. Strategies and techniques based on her findings have been successfully piloted in Better Jobs Better Care - Vermont (BJBC-VT); a Centers for Medicare & Medicaid
Services (CMS) funded Improving Nursing Home Culture Pilot (INHC); with nursing homes nationally through the Quality Improvement Organization (QIO) program and in New England through workforce development programs.
