Culture Change Is Now The Standard

Part 1 Introduction
History of Movement

Culture change has been defined by the Pioneer Network as “a transformation anchored in values and beliefs that returned control to elders” (Older Americans) and those who work closest with them.

The Transformation has taken place in most every aspect of healthcare; environmental, clinical, life safety, and residents rights.

The future long term care...
Robinson and Gallagher have stated that the future long term care “…customer, savvy and well educated, will re-formulate long term care by demanding fine dining, and concierge services, and healthy fast foods from a food court with ‘brand’ named franchises open 24 hours per day”
(Robinson and Gallagher, 2008)

Part 1 Introduction
History of Movement

The Culture Change Movements started as a result of strategy of practitioners, working together in order to modify existing regulations, such that they would better support new models of aging in long term care.

Called "A National Stakeholder Workgroup", developed guidelines of "best practice" for individualization in long term care living to provide regulatory overview, interpretive protocol, investigative guidance, as well as prepare related education materials to facilitate implementation.

Early Efforts...

Eden Alternative (1994) reduction negitive outcomes  
Early Efforts that started the movement...

A 2007 article “What is Culture Change and Why an aging Nations cares” states “Culture change is not just about nursing homes—it’s about a society that’s lost its way. In a discussion about her “ethical will” taped in 2001

The Eden Alternative
Eden Alternative- was one of the first 1994 to institute what are called neighborhoods, areas in a home that serve small groups of up to 15 residents with their own living and dining rooms and consistent staffing.

The evaluation of the Providence program showed an 11% reduction in routine medication utilization, a 40% reduction in the use of medication for bowel management, a 100% reduction in antianxiety medications, a 100% reduction in antipsychotic medications, a 100% reduction in sedative hypnotics, a 50% increase in resident activity levels, and a more than 100 % increase in social interaction

Moving Forward

Accountable Care Organizations- Hospitals & Nursing Homes working together... 
Moving Forward

Accountable Care Organization (ACO) are the next phase in the culture change movement that will shape standards of care, with the aim of preventing re-admission and additional cost in Medicaid and Medicare services.

Remember CMS goal is to improve quality of live, by improving quality of care...

Baby Boomers Shaping Healthcare

So culture change is not just about Nursing Homes anymore,

but every facet of our society healthcare systems, more specifically, "our health, quality of life, and the quality of care and those that administer any facet of it".

Health care is the second-fastest growing sector of the U.S. economy, but nursing is the largest occupation within the industry, with more than 2.4 million jobs and the highest projected growth{2}.

The culture change movement is also about how doctors, hospitals, families and care givers perceive and treat an aging society.

Older adults want a home that will help them stay healthy

"at least as healthy as possible, as they age..." 
Bill Thomas, the physician who created The Eden Alternative, “has long predicted the demise of the nursing home for having failed to pay attention to customer needs and preferences.

What older people are looking for {America Has a Major Misconception On Aging} "is not the right healthcare provider but the right housing environment".

Older adults want a home that will help them stay healthy, or at least as healthy as possible, as they age”.

Implementation of Dining Services Focused Changing Dining Standards,

Goal of Presentation

Focusing on The importance of Implementation of Dining Services Focused on Culture Change Dining Standards,

“Creating Home within the Nursing Home” and other Healthcare settings.

Culture Change (also known as person-centered care or resident-directed care) transforms the critical care medical model to one's that nurtures the human spirit, as well as meeting therapeutic needs in food service.

Recaping History

-
Culture Change Is Now The Standard

Culture change has been the movement that has transformed institutions, professions and practices which have influenced and improved the 'quality of care'

Advancement of the 1987 'Nursing Home Reform Act'

Started back in 1994, The Eden Alternative- was one of the first to institute what are called neighborhoods, areas in a home that serve small groups of up to 15 residents with their own living and dining rooms and consistent staffing.

Creating Home I

.
Creating Home I- Healthcare Dining Service: "Environment Promotes Resident’s Quality of Life”

Part 2 of (3) Part Series Creating Home in the Nursing Home
No Longer A Movement- Culture Change Is Now The Standard...

April 2008
a day, long-term care innovators, regulators, researchers, architects, advocates and public officials came together in an unprecedented discourse to highlight environmental innovations and to discuss regulatory challenges associated with transforming the physical environments of nursing homes into comfortable, pleasurable places for elders to call home.

Home

Creating Home I- Environmental Changes

This is not just about how to make a "Nursing Home" a home, but why it is important to not let it be a institution...

(CMS) The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and Pioneer Network hosted a historic symposium on the impact of “Innovative Environmental Design on creating home and community for nursing home residents. There are several resources on this Symposium, but he most complete is Pre-symposium Background Paper, 2008 Creating Home in the Nursing Home:

Untitled Slide

How Do You Make It Home

Often when a resident says “I want to go home” they are not necessarily referring to the house they came from, but rather to a state of being that was comfortable, ordered, and fundamentally orienting.

Make It Theirs...
Since the passage of the Nursing Home Reform Act of OBRA ’87, providing care “in a manner and in an environment that promotes maintenance or enhancement of each resident’s quality of life” has been required by Quality of Life at 42 CFR §483.15, Tag F240- not to mention an entire section dedicated to quality of life.

* right to Dignity at 42 CFR §483.15(a)

* the right to self-determination- Tag F241,

* Safe, Comfortable 483.15(b), Tag F242,

* Homelike environment at 42 CFR §483.15(h), Tag F252

* right to Privacy at 42 CFR §483.10 (e)

* Resident Rights section 42 CFR §483.15

Choice...

Creating Home I
creates an enviorment where customers are empowered to make choices...

Creating Home I is not just comfort measures, quality of life issues like being able to bring your own furniture from home, but also issues and services that represents a residents life-long-choices, while also be ‘life-affirming, satisfying, humane, and
Meaningful (Carmen S. Bowman)

It is important to note “CMS guidance serves as expectations for facility providers: NOT to RESTRICT residence RIGHTS. While each facility must comply with all regulatory requirements; regulatory requirements cannot be used to restrict residents' rights to make choices.

.

Importance of the Physical Environment

"There are many ways of framing the concept of environment - the social environment, the total environment, the atmosphere or milieu - but we are limiting our use of the term to the physical environment of the building and what is in it in terms of furniture and decor, equipment, lighting, flooring, the layout, and use of spaces". (Carmen S. Bowman- Pre-symposium Background Paper )

.

Quality of Life

The quality of life experienced by anyone is related to that person’s sense of well being, level of satisfaction with life, and feeling of self-worth and self-esteem. (Dr. Schwarz, assistant professor of Environmental Design at the University of Missouri-Columbia)

For nursing home residents this includes a basic sense of satisfaction with oneself, the environment, the care received, the accomplishment of desired goals, and control over one’s life... (Improving the Quality of Care in Nursing Homes)





Self-Directed Care

shift from "provider, professional directed care
Creating Home I
Change The Model...

The shift from "provider, professional directed care to self-directed care".

Under the basic view, nursing home design is simply based on the wrong model - the medical model".

Residents/customers MUST make the choices of what make it "Their Home".

Cutler and Kane go on to point out that CMS requirements include honoring resident choices (Self-determination and participation at 42 CFR §483.15 (b), Tag F242), accommodating the environment to meet individual needs and preferences (Accommodations of Need at 42 CFR §483.15 (e), Tag F246), and helping each resident to obtain their highest practicable quality of life (Quality of Life at 42 CFR §483.15, Tag F240). (Cutler and Kane, 2006).

The National Work-group:
GOAL STATEMENT: "Establish nationally agreed upon new standards of practice supporting individualized care and self‐directed living versus traditional diagnosis‐focused treatment".

Unpalatable Diet

weight lossand under nutrition and a spiral of negative health 
Creating Home II

Re-Thinking Diet

-- An unacceptable or unpalatable diet can lead to
poor food and fluid intake, resulting in weight loss
and under nutrition and a spiral of negative health
effects

-- Collaboration between resident, facility and
practitioner to identify alternatives to restrictive
diets when resident declines medically relevant
dietary restrictions.

-- Restrictive Diets restrict residents rights and healthy choices

Qualified Dietitian ensures diet that promotes choice and healthier eating

Alternated Consistencies

Swallowing abnormalities do not necessarily require modified diet 


Alternated Consistencies

-- Swallowing abnormalities do not necessarily require modified diet and fluid texture modifications (AMDA)

-- The RD needs to collaborate with the SLP
and/other health professionals to ensure
that the older adult receives appropriate modified texture diets (AND)

-- Holistic approach is necessary to determine
course of action. No one intervention consistently prevents aspiration and no test consistently predicts who will get aspiration
pneumonia. (CMS

Look beyond symptoms

Enteral nutrition may not be appropriate for terminally ill older adults 
Creating Home II
Re-Thinking approach to Meals/Dining

-- Tube feeding may be clinically appropriate in certain instances but should not be an automatic step when other feeding strategies have failed (AMDA)

-- Enteral nutrition may not be appropriate for terminally ill older adults with advance disease states, such as terminal dementia. (AND)

-- Look beyond symptoms to
determine plan of care (CMS)

Real Foods First

Improving nutritional status with wholesome food 
Creating Home II
Re-Thinking approach to Meals/Dining

Real Foods First

-- Provide foods of a consistency and texture that allow comfortable chewing and swallowing (AMDA)

-- Food service goal should be meals that are natural and independent as possible making choices from a wide
range of menu items with input from residents, families and staff.(AND)

-- Improving nutritional status with wholesome food is preferable to nutritional supplements (CMS)

--Severity Level 3– Actual Harm- weight loss due to lack of assessment of risk vs benefit of restriction or down grading diet and food consistency or accommodate preferences in accepting related risks.

New Dining Standards

Culture Change is about changing the culture of serving seniors, empowering them to make choices... improve the quality of their lives...

-- The New Dining Standards a different mind set that would take a lot of imagination, creativity and ability to think “outside the box”

* Change in food service administration and
application of New Dining Standards, as well as know how to apply.

* Change in our role as professionals.

* Educate yourselves.

* In the end, it will improve the quality of life for our seniors!
