Changing the culture of long-term care facilities: pharmacists needed.
A growing number of facilities are changing environments, practices, and philosophies to create a culture of patient-directed or patient-centered care. The ultimate goal of these "culture-change" efforts is to maximize patient choice and create a homelike setting that is appealing for residents and staff alike. As interdisciplinary team leaders, pharmacists not only need to understand culture change, but they also need to embrace it.
