In 2008 Hartford Institute for Geriatric Nursing (HIGN) collaborated with the Coalition of Geriatric Nursing Organizations (CGNO) and Pioneer Network (PN) to convene a panel of 31 nursing and other experts to explore opportunities and barriers for nursing and culture change.
The panel worked to answer the question, "what is the role for nurses in achieving and sustaining this change?" The decision was made by a core group of nurses and clinical nurse leaders involved in cultural transformation to concentrate on those competencies that are unique to culture change nursing, building on the work already done to identify specific clinical competencies for geriatric nursing (see www.aacn.nche.edu/Education/gercomp.htm) and Position Descriptions and Related Competencies for Long Term Care Nursing Positions (www.ltcnursing.org).
"Nursing Competencies for Nursing Home Culture Change", release May 27th, 2010, is a result of that collaboration.
