Thank you all for attending the conference. Around 300 members of the TCOM Collaborative gathered at the Drake Hotel in Chicago to share and learn from one another. Workshops focused on how to make best use of TCOM tools in practice, implementations, and supervision. Participants learned how to make meaningful use of CANS data, including using it for effective planning and for measuring well-being. This year also featured a learning track on safety culture. Despite the wide range of topics covered, every presentation was connected through the belief that making that people we serve full partners in the process of care is how transformation happens.
CONGRATULATIONS!

EVIDENCE and TRANSFORMATION: Taking Person-Centered Care to Scale
The idea that healthcare should be focused on the person is not new and a seemingly obvious statement to make, BUT the decisions made for every individual in care are not always reflective of this goal. The idea that healthcare is anything other than about the individual is unacceptable. Dr. John S. Lyons highlights a few reasons why this happens and how TCOM takes person-centered philosophy to scale in the post last month. TCOM offers a strategy to ensure that the people served are treated as equal partners in the decisions made. As part of the larger TCOM community, share how YOU work to take Person-Centered Care to Scale.
To learn more about this year’s theme, take a read at Dr. John S. Lyons post on Person Centered Care.
