The session will begin with a complete review of the history of culture change within the skilled nursing environment, emphasizing the newest transition to a Person-Centered Care Model outlined by the National Person-Centered Care Coalition.
The session will explore how to “operationalize” the philosophical model within a facility. Issues such as occupational therapy’s specific role, interdisciplinary considerations, and interdepartmental overlaps will be presented.
