The State Investment in Culture Change Toolkit is designed to help states initiate or expand culture change efforts in nursing homes. The toolkit is a collection of programs and activities that seven states created to support culture change initiatives in nursing homes. The materials were collected from a case study supported by The Commonwealth Fund. The goal is to provide other states with this information, so they can learn from these experiences, and to create a network among state governments and other key organizations.
The toolkit organizes the descriptions of the initiatives into three areas: Workforce Improvement Initiatives; Person-Centered Care Initiatives; and Continuous Quality Improvement Initiatives. The profiled initiatives include a description to enhance awareness of the range of approaches and specific interventions that have been developed through state investments.
You can download the programs and activities either through the Full Toolkit or by accessing specific sections of the toolkit:
