PHI consultant Susan Misiorski, who is also president of the Pioneer Network, appears on the CMS webcast Innovations in the Quality of Life - Pioneer Network Broadcast, September 27. Misiorski, Rose Marie Fagan, and other Pioneer board members and innovators provide a thorough explanation of the Pioneer Network, the concept of culture change in nursing homes, and their efforts to create long-term care settings in which people are proud to live and work. A clip from HeartWork, a video produced by the Paraprofessional Healthcare Institute, illuminates how direct-care workers feel about their role within long-term care.
