Background & PurposeMany nursing homes across the country have joined a movement toward person-centered, individualized care. This movement, known as nursing home culture change, focuses on implementing a holistic approach to care moving away from an institutional model and toward a social model where the nursing home resident is central to living and care decision processes. CMS awarded the Measuring Culture Change (MCC) special study to the Colorado Foundation for Medical Care (CFMC). This project had two primary purposes: (1) developing a mechanism to distinguish nursing homes that have successfully implemented culture change from those with partial or no implementation, and (2) providing an evaluation of outcome-based performance of these nursing homes to identify quantitative differences between homes that have successfully implemented culture change and homes that have not.
