The Artifacts of Culture Change Tool (ACC) was developed in 2006 by Karen Schoeneman and Carmen Bowman as a CMS project. This tool is integral to the culture change movement and a great way for communities to assess where they are on the culture change journey, celebrate accomplishments, and generate goals and action plans for the journey. Through a Civil Money Penalty (CMP) grant, Pioneer Network is advancing the tool with the latest knowledge and best practices. This session will provide education and demonstration on how communities can use the tool to achieve best practice. The tool also can be used to guide quality efforts and performance improvement as communities apply for AHCA/NCAL Quality Awards.

Learning Objectives:

Explain how the ACC tool was developed for CMS and its evolution with the latest knowledge and best practices that support quality of life and quality of care for community residents.
Discuss the connection between items of the ACC tool with related CMS requirements and efforts as communities apply for AHCA / NCAL Quality Awards.
Describe how the ACC can be utilized to show the community beneficial changes it can make to increase resident autonomy, rights, and choices, and eliminate institutional practices.
