AHCA PRODUCT OF THE WEEK – PERSON CENTERED CARE IN A PDPM WORLD

AHCA/NCAL has released a new four-module webinar series on ahcancalED that trains staff about how to deliver person centered care under the Patient Driven Payment Model (PDPM). Person Centered Care in a PDPM World is built to train senior staff about delivering short-stay post-acute person-centered care and position them to then train facility staff.

Designed to be appropriate for all facility staff, the first three modules can be done as a team or individuals. These three modules examine the person-centered care framework, making personal preference determinations and challenges in delivering personalized care to short stay residents. The last module is divided into four separate presentations that can be used to train various staff members including administrators, professional staff, CNAs and other essential staff with content specifically designed to are designed to promote team application of the concepts into clinical practice and elevate person-centered care throughout the organization.
