Four Part Series:

From Institutional to Individualized Care

This four-part webinar series was produced by B&F Consulting under contract with Quality Partners of Rhode Island for CMS to provide a framework and practical examples to help LTC surveyors, providers, and consumers understand and support individualized care.

The series provides guidance to surveyors and practitioners on individualizing the physical environment so residents feel at home, individualizing the morning routine, eliminating alarm use, decentralizing food services, helping residents to a good night’s sleep, individualizing the med pass, implementing consistent assignment, using individualized care to achieve clinical improvements in pressure ulcers, falls, and depression, and stabilizing staffing.
