Issue Paper: Nurses Involvement in Nursing Home Culture Change: Overcoming Barriers,

[admin]

The Hartford Institute, College of Nursing, NYU, in collaboration with the Coalition of Geriatric Nursing Organizations and the Pioneer Network convened an interdisciplinary Expert Panel of leaders in culture change and in gerontological nursing for a one-and-a-half day meeting in October 2008, sponsored by the Commonwealth Fund. The purpose of this meeting was to foster dialogue, to identify facilitators and barriers to nurses' involvement in culture change, and to identify actions to promote competencies for nurses in a resident-directed care environment in nursing homes. The resulting Issue Paper encompasses five sections: culture change and research supporting culture change; nursing in nursing homes; culture change, nursing practice, and nursing education; recommendations; and next steps.

Very nice post with a ton of informative information. I really appreciate the fact that you approach these topics from a stand point of knowledge and information
instead of the typical “I think” mentality that you see so much on the internet these days.
