The Pioneer Network has developed an interactive web-based version of the Artifacts of Culture Change tool for providers to input and score their data online. This free tool is designed to measure five specific areas in the culture change journey: care practice; environment; family and community; leadership; and workplace. While you must register, registration is free. Information about your care home is coded and is never identified, although you may compare your data to similar care homes. You are also able to monitor changes in your home periodically. Providers will be able to access current and historical data and are encouraged to complete the tool at a minimum of twice a year; and create high involvement of staff, family and residents in completing the tool and solicit feedback from varying perspectives.
Coming soon: Although providers will not be able to view peers' data, the online collection of consistent and measurable variables will allow Pioneer Network to aggregate culture change implementation measures and benchmark data for homes throughout the country to develop reports by multiple characteristics (such as home size, market concentration, staff hours and census data).
