Person-Centered Care Trainings for California QIO a Statewide Success
Statewide, CA — The Institute for Caregiver Education was contracted
by Lumetra, California’s Quality Improvement Organization to provide
statewide person-centered care training seminars in July. The one-day
seminars were focused on providing an advanced level of training for providers
who already have a basic understanding of person-centered care and the philosophy’s
impact on nursing home care and quality improvement.
The day-long seminars took place in Fairfield, Fresno, Pasadena and San Diego
in July. Providers from each area were invited to attend the event as Lumetra’s
ongoing mission to provide resident-directed care information as part of the
guidelines put in place by CMS. Program content included sessions on Person-Centered
Care, Staff Mentoring and Neighborhood Teams. Approximately 400 individuals
took place in the training sessions, representing more that 70 providers from
across the state.
“Our presence in California as a preferred provider of person-centered
care education highlights our success as a nationally-recognized leader of
education in this industry,” says Jim Kinsey, Director of Corporate Development
and Product Services who presented the material. The July trainings followed
an earlier Institute led phone conference on leadership that was offered to
California long term care providers through Lumetra in January.
The Institute for Caregiver Education is a nationally-recognized leader in
Culture Change education. For more than 15 years the organization has provided
quality caregiver education to nursing homes from California to Maine. Over
the last five years the IfCE team has educated hundreds of long-term care professionals
on a myriad of Culture Change topics at such national conferences as ASA, NADONA,
AAHSA, AHCA, ACHCA, The Pioneer Network, the VA Summit and numerous state associations. The
Institute for Caregiver Education is currently a leading Culture Change educator
for a number of state QIO organizations as they work with the 8th Scope of
Work and CMS.
