Join our own culture change pundit Carmen Bowman, MHS, on her monthly web talk show. Actually, it's better than a talk show because you too can join the conversation by asking questions of Carmen and her guests. Carmen's smart look at culture change focuses on a wide variety of topics. She brings an insider's view of regulations, and reports on little changes happening in government, in attitude, in practice. Each month she will share culture change news and updates, amusing and heartwarming stories, and interview a guest on a relevant and timely topic.

Presented by Carmen Bowman,
co-author of "Alarms: The New Deficient Practice? Eliminating Alarms and Preventing Falls by Engaging with …. Life"

Eliminating alarms has actually reduced falls in the homes that have done so, committing to the better practices of

- anticipating needs and
- engaging residents with real life
Based on the book Eliminating Alarms and Preventing Falls by Engaging with … Life co-authored by hostess Carmen Bowman, published by Action Pact.
Carmen's webinars are (normally) held the third Friday of every month, except December, and run about an hour.
