The
Campaign's objective is to engage and challenge nursing homes to provide
valuable data as well as make quality improvements. It envisions every nursing
home resident in America experiencing person-centered quality of life as a
result of a stable and empowered workforce, dedicated to improving clinical and
organizational outcomes, and engaging in open communication and transparency.
The nine new quality goals are:
Process Goals:
- Improving staff
stability;
- Increasing use of consistent assignment;
- Increasing
person-centered care planning and decision making;
- Safely reducing
hospitalizations;
Clinical Goals:
- Using medications appropriately;
- Increasing resident mobility;
- Preventing and managing infections
safely;
- Reducing the prevalence of pressure ulcers; and
- Decreasing
symptoms of pain.
Free resources, including implementation tools
correlating to each goal, are available at www.nhqualitycampaign.org. For

Specialist, CFMC, mmeadow@cfmc.org.
