Through good leadership, professionals working in long term care are able to enhance their working environments, their day-to-day processes, and so much more, enabling for better resident care over all. In our feature story, five long term care profession experts share some of their insights on leadership at the individual and organizational levels and the development of leaders in long term care. Guest writers from the Oregon Patient Safety Commission discuss some of their programs, which focus on quality and important tools and resources for long term care leaders. Phil Bentley examines public policy impacts on the long term care workforce. Gwen Dayton writes about rules updates on landmark bills that passed in the 2017 Oregon Legislative Session. Senator Elizabeth Steiner Hayward, co-chair of the Joint Committee on Ways and Means Subcommittee on Human Services, is featured in our policymaker profile. In our leader profile, Fee Stubblefield, CEO of the Springs Living and our current OHCA board chair, answers questions on leadership, company culture, and changes in the long term care sector. Jack Hansen, a resident at Willamette Lutheran Home in Keizer, shares age-old wisdom regarding leadership and entrepreneurship. It seems that the key principals of leadership haven’t changed much over the last 50 years.
