Nursing Home Quality Initiative

 

The Nursing Home Quality Initiative

 

The Nursing Home Quality Initiative (NHQI), an effort of the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), is a campaign to improve the quality of care in nursing homes across the country. Through the NHQI, Ohio KePRO offers educational programs, resource materials, and quality improvement expertise at no cost to all Ohio nursing homes. In particular, Ohio KePRO is focusing its work with Ohio nursing homes on improving quality measure scores in the areas of pain, pressure ulcers, restraints, and depression, as well as organizational culture and workforce retention.

 

Advancing Excellence in America’s Nursing Homes

 

As America’s population ages and the first of the “baby boomers” turn 60 years old, nursing homes and stakeholders are coming together to improve the quality of care and quality of life for those living or recuperating in America’s nursing homes.

 

Advancing Excellence in America’s Nursing Homes is a two-year, coalition-based campaign concerned with how we care for elderly and disabled citizens. This voluntary campaign:

  • Monitors key indicators of nursing home care quality
  • Promotes excellence in caregiving for nursing home residents
  • Acknowledges the critical role nursing home staff have in providing care

The campaign builds on the success of other quality initiatives like Quality First, the Nursing Home Quality Initiative (NHQI), and the culture change movement. Campaign goals include creating a culture of person-centered, individualized care and an empowered workforce in nursing homes. Go to www.nhqualitycampaign.org to join.
