A Framework to Grow and Strengthen the PALTC Careforce

More of a Good Thing expands upon the already successful, evidence-based 4Ms Framework of the Age-Friendly Health System to address the needs and well-being of staff. In 2022, AMDA convened a series of six virtual roundtable discussions guided by the themes of the 4Ms for Staff: What Matters (facility culture and respect), Medication (health promotion and workplace safety), Mentation (mental health and emotional well-being of staff), Mobility (opportunities for personal growth, ongoing education, and career advancement).

With generous funding support from the Jewish Healthcare Foundation and The Foundation for Post-Acute and Long-Term Care Medicine, AMDA is building upon its previous work with new sessions that highlight how nursing home leadership can positively impact facility culture and develop effective policies to help grow and strengthen the PALTC Careforce from within.

Leading with Purpose: 8 Strategies for Engaging Your Careforce

To complement the More of a Good Thing discussions, JoAnne Reifsnyder, PhD, MSN, MBA, FAAN, Professor of Health Services Leadership and Management at the University of Maryland School of Nursing, and former Executive Vice President and Chief Nursing Officer for Genesis Healthcare will lead a series of eight 30-minute virtual sessions on leadership strategies that can help facility leaders assess their strengths, lead change, cultivate a positive work culture, and ultimately retain and recruit new members to their teams. The monthly sessions began on January 18, 2024.
