OMNI doesn’t let up on continuous improvement
Friday, August 18, 2006
Earlier this month OMNI administrators met for their quarterly board meeting.

One of the decisions made was to initiate best practices committees in the homes.

These committees will help integrate new programs with each other and the day-to-day operations of homes.

This step is a natural one and will aid in turning new projects into operationalized programs.
West Lake Terrace will be piloting the expansion of the scope of practice for PSWs, another decision confirmed at the administrators’ board meeting.

The pandemic plan, being created by a group of OMNI’s senior leadership is also well on its way.

On page four of this edition a few of the many stories about Supportive Measures successes appear. The recent Supportive Measures train-the-trainer sessions and the subsequent in-home rollouts have moved OMNI further along the path to their goal of training all employees in the approach by the end of 2007.

Each of these projects and programs is supported by team members in the homes and by a home office structured to resource and coordinate start up and implementation.
The amount of disciplined work being done throughout the OMNI community is staggering and impressive.

There can be little doubt OMNI is continuing to improve itself for the sake of providing the best possible resident care.
