LINCOLN, NEB., July 21, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Resident satisfaction in long term care and senior living is being taken to new heights, thanks to a recent partnership between My InnerView by National Research and Custom Learning Systems. The partnership will help increase employee engagement and retention through interactive webinar modules, valuable training materials and resources, and live support.
The webinars and training sessions, led by Brian Lee—one of North America's experts in patient experience, staff engagement, and culture change—will feature several topics designed for all employee levels: frontline staff will discover how to deliver compassionate resident care; managers will find out how to reduce staff turnover; and senior leaders will learn how to inspire and engage nurses to be more resident-focused. The training also provides implementation tools, assessments, and completion certificates for employees, along with educational benefits of the My InnerView survey, and performance tools that focus on elevating the patient and resident experience. In addition to Brian Lee, the world-class, expert faculty who will lead the webinars include Mary Tellis-Nayak, RN, MSN, MPH; Clint Maun, CSP; and Greg Efta.
"It is virtually impossible to transform the resident experience without an objective satisfaction survey tool like My InnerView that provides managers and staff with the gift of invaluable feedback. This is why we've partnered with National Research in a strategic relationship that provides the perfect combination of research, education, and implementation," said Brian Lee.
Mary Oakes, Senior Vice President of Post-Acute at National Research, looks forward to the strategic learning advantages the partnership will entail for long term care and senior living providers.
"When two organizations that are focused on transforming resident experiences can come together and provide essential knowledge transfer to those who touch the lives of residents every day, it makes a powerful difference," Oakes said. "Brian and Custom Learning Systems have a strong reputation of opening the eyes of employees and leaders and getting them to truly 'hone in' on what makes patients and residents happy."
