Michigan Project Aims to Strengthen Person-Centered Care
Michigan has strengthened its commitment to culture change in nursing homes through its One Vision: Moving Forward project, writes PHI Organizational Change Consultant Cean Eppelheimer in a blog post for Long-Term Living.
The project will promote a “deeper awareness of what person-centered care really means and how to focus on how to make that vision a reality,” Eppelheimer writes.
Eppelheimer and PHI Midwest Director Hollis Turnham are co-facilitators of the project.
One Vision draws upon the viewpoints of a multitude of long-term care stakeholders, including resident advocates, provider associations, government agencies, and employee organizations.
The project helps long-term care facilities overcome the obstacles that prevent them from fully incorporating person-centered care.
One Vision is funded by the Michigan Department of Community Health through money collected from civil monetary penalty funds.
