18-D. Moving Forward to Improve Nursing Home Quality

In 2022, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) released groundbreaking recommendations for improving the quality of care in nursing homes nationwide. Since then, the Moving Forward Nursing Home Quality Coalition has developed action plans to advance some of NASEM's recommendations and begun work to implement those plans. This session will focus on implementation progress. Coalition leaders will describe their work to promote financing for physical plant renovations, the adoption of health information technology, testing and evaluation of care planning standards, and other action plan work. As the Coalition completes its first two years of work, there’s no better time to review the group’s accomplishments and discuss its future direction.
