INSTITUTE PARTNERS WITH CARGAS TO UNVEIL HUMAN RESOURCES
SOFTWARE FOR LONG TERM CARE AT PIONEER NETWORK CONFERENCE IN AUGUST
“Cargas Competency” Software Outlines Job Competencies Based in Person-Centered Care
WASHINGTON, DC –The Institute for Caregiver Education team is pleased to announce that they will be unveiling a dynamic partnership with Cargas at the 8th Annual Pioneer Network National Conference in August. Over the last year, the Institute has been working with Cargas, a technology company to create a software product specific for long term care organizations seeking to integrate Person-Centered Care competencies into their job descriptions and evaluations. The two companies are co-sponsoring the Pioneer Network bookstore at the conference, at which attendees can purchase a myriad of Culture Change-related resources.
Cargas approached the Institute while researching organizations that could provide them with the necessary competencies required for long term care communities that were transitioning from a medical model to a social model of care. The Institute has long been viewed as a national expert in Culture Change, and already had competencies written that are actively in place in many client organizations.
“Cargas Competency is software that aligns the behaviors needed to succeed in specific roles at individual, functional, and organizational levels. The tool enables homes to consistently identify the skills and qualities that mesh with Person-Centered Care standards and expectations regarding resident care. With built-in industry specific dictionaries and hundreds of prewritten job descriptions, the system is easy to use and customized for Long Term Care organizations.”

This year’s Pioner Network Conference will be held at the Omni Shoreham Hotel in Washington, DC. For more information about the conference, please visit www.pioneernetwork.net.
