The Journey of Culture
Change
E x p a n d i n g the
Possibilities
MetroTech Conference
Center
Oklahoma City, OK
There is an increasing
recognition among
healthcare leaders of
the need for culture
change within their
organizations. Moving
from recognition to
reality, however,
appears to be somewhat
more elusive. The
difficulties may lie in
the perception—or
misperception— of what
this actually entails.
Culture change is not a
program with a
completion date and it
does not represent a
quick fix. . It should
be viewed as an ongoing
journey. But it is a
journey that can be
accomplished by
understanding the
current state of the
organization,
establishing a clear
vision, aligning
behaviors and instilling
accountability.
Culture change is a
transformation of the
whole atmosphere — the
physical environment,
staff routines,
authority structure and
resident care into an
atmosphere that is
satisfying, humane and
meaningful. Culture
change has been shown to
transform staff into
productive teams and
dispirited, isolated
elders into active
members of their
communities.
This educational
experience will begin
with the “what it is and
why it matters” of
culture change. It will
then progress to a
paradigm-shifting
process that culture
change uses to craft a
radical re-framing of
how we view and care for
people in communities.
Survey implications of
culture change will be
discussed. Join us for
the journey!

Fair Housing and
Senior Living
• Do you put any
restrictions on
Residents’ use of
electric scooters?
• Do you limit the
number of hours a
private duty aide can
provide care to
residents in your
independent living
facility?
• Does your independent
living admissions
agreement require a
resident transfer to a
higher level of care if
the resident cannot
perform ADLs?
• Do you not distinguish
between pets and
comfort/service animals?
The Fair Housing Act
prohibits discrimination
in housing on the basis
of race, color,
religion, sex, national
origin, family status or
disability by housing
providers. Senior living
and senior care
facilities must
understand how it
applies to their
operations.
This presentation will
review the requirements
of the Fair Housing Act
and discuss the
implications of the Fair
Housing Act on
marketing, admissions
and transfers, and
specific operational
issues.

MDS 3.0 Competency and
Training
Manage the Database,
Magnify Operational
Performance & Maximize
Reimbursements
Metro-Tech Conference
Center, Oklahoma City,
OK 73111
MDS 3.0 marks a new era
whereby long-term care
providers will be
identified, judged and
paid based on the
quality, accuracy and
management of its data
throughout its entire
operations. This session
will prepare facilities
for the transition to
MDS 3.0, which is not
“just a form” for
one-dimensional input;
it’s a complex,
integrated system of
processes that begin
even before a resident
is admitted, that
continues to play a
crucial role in every
part of the residents’
clinical and financial
journey, even beyond
discharge. That means
every position and
process that the
transition from MDS 2.0
to 3.0 touches is
pivotal to a much larger
operational process
within your facility.
From nurse aides, RNs,
and DONs, to activity
directors, therapists,
dietary, care planning,
billing, and admissions
– all the way through
administrators and
owners – everyone will
be impacted.
This course will be
taught by one of the
nation’s leading experts
on the MDS 3.0. NAB
approved for CEU
credits.
