Conversations with Carmen... A Monthly Webinar 

 

   Join our own culture change pundit Carmen Bowman, MHS, on her monthly web talk show. Actually, it's better than a talk show because you too can join the conversation by asking questions of Carmen and her guests. Carmen's smart look at culture change focuses on a wide variety of topics. She brings an insider's view of regulations, and reports on little changes happening in government, in attitude, in practice. Each month she will share culture change news and updates, amusing and heartwarming stories, and interview a guest on a relevant and timely topic.

 

This month's Guest:

JO A. TAYLOR, BSN, MPH,

Quality Improvement Specialist

Move from the traditional culture of functional decline to a culture of individualized care that reduces the risk of falling.  An individualized culture replaces restraints, alarms, and antipsychotics with better practices such as resident-focused care instead of schedule-focused, including the encouragment of resident self-care. Most importantly, learn how to bring mobility to the forefront of life for residents with an environment for mobility that includes direct caregiver support (not just therapy), exercise activities and increased walking rather than wheelchair use. Start to turn the tides from excess safety to improved well-being. After all, as our expert guest Jo Taylor points it, older adults define their well-being by their functional status.

Carmen's webinars are (normally) held the third Friday of every month and run about an hour.
