A Campaign to Improve the Quality of Life for Residents and Staff
As America’s population ages and the first of the “baby boomers” turn 60 years old, a new coalition concerned about how we care for elderly and disabled citizens is reinvigorating efforts to improve the quality of care and quality of life for those living or recuperating in America’s nursing homes. Health care providers, caregivers, medical and quality improvement experts, government agencies, consumers and others are joining the two-year Advancing Excellence in America’s Nursing Homes campaign that will build on the success of other quality initiatives like Quality First, the Nursing Home Quality Initiative (NHQI), and the culture change movement. Organizations that share a commitment to continuously improving quality care in nursing homes are encouraged to join the campaign.
This voluntary campaign, which will monitor key indicators of nursing home care quality, promotes excellence in caregiving for nursing home residents and acknowledges the critical role of nursing home staff in providing that care. Nursing homes participating in the campaign will work on at least three of the eight goals listed below and can access technical assistance and guidance from quality experts at HealthInsight in order to obtain their improvement goals.
