Person-Centered Care Training in Oklahoma City, OK

The Institute was asked by the Oklahoma Association of Homes and Services for the Aging to present a full-day conference on Person-Centered Care for their members on May 8th. Teresa McCann and Allison Lantieri teamed up to offer five sessions, including:

• An Introduction to Person-Centered Care
• Person-Centered Care in the 1st Year of Implementation
• Retention & Workforce Development Based in Person-Centered Care
• A Transformative Approach to Human Resource Leadership
• Making the Business Case for Person-Centered Care

There were about 75 attendees on-site in Oklahoma City and another 45 in Tulsa who participated via a live video-feed. The day was sponsored by the Oklahoma Foundation for Medical Quality, which is the state's Quality Improvement Organization.

We were pleased to receive great feedback throughout the day and afterwards from attendees who are excited about adopting Person-Centered Care practices in their organizations.

Some of the feedback included:

"I attended the culture change seminar that OKAHSA presented yesterday in Oklahoma City. You did an excellent job. It was one of the most informative seminars that I have attended."

Peggy Mitchell, Administrator, Community Health Center—Wakita, OK

“The seminar was wonderful; one of the best I have been to. As a new administrator (1 ½ years), I have been fortunate enough to work at a home where the “idea” of person-centered care is welcomed and I am excited to really put into place a long-range plan to transform our community completely. We have the right attitude in caring for our elders but I never thought as much about the HR possibilities that complete the transformation. Thank you for a wonderful learning experience!”

Casey Garrard, Administrator, Crestridge Place—Watonga, OK
