Reimagining LTC: Enabling a Healthy Workforce to Provide Person-Centred Care
As we work towards building a more resilient long-term care system, supports to improve the health and safety of the workforce and person-centred care are needed more than ever.
Reimagining LTC: Enabling a Healthy Workforce to Provide Person-Centred Care is a new initiative that supports quality improvement on these important issues. Designed to help foster a more resilient long-term care sector, this program aims to:
- Increase capacity for safety and quality improvement work within long-term care
- Support long-term care homes to identify, plan and implement changes that will enable a healthy workforce to deliver person-centred care to residents
- Foster peer-to-peer sharing and learning among long-term care homes across Canada
- Help people working in long-term care provide more person-centred care.
Through Reimagining LTC: Enabling a Healthy Workforce to Provide Person-Centred Care, Healthcare Excellence Canada is supporting up to 240 long-term care homes in all 10 provinces to implement projects focused on fostering a healthy work environment to deliver safer, higher quality person-centred care. The program will enable participating teams to accelerate efforts to align with the new National Long-Term Care Services standard released by the Health Standards Organization. The program provides funding of up to $10,000 per home, and implementation and capacity-building support such as coaching and monthly webinars.
Reimagining LTC: Enabling a Healthy Workforce to Provide Person-Centred Care will run for one year, from January to December 2023.
Reimagining LTC: Enabling a Healthy Workforce to Provide Person-Centred Care builds on earlier programming that supported long-term care and retirement homes to respond to COVID-19 and build capacity to implement quality improvement projects.
