The Nursing Home Quality Care Collaborative (NHQCC) is an all teach, all learn initiative led by Alliant QIN-QIO as part of the 12th Statement of Work (SOW). The Collaborative uses evidence based and data driven methodologies to guide and rapidly spread quality practices to nursing homes (NHs) with the goal of ensuring that nursing home residents receive the highest possible quality of care. Specifically, the NHQCC works to instill quality and performance improvement practices focusing on the systems that impact quality to reduce healthcare-acquired conditions, adverse drug events, re-admissions and emergency department (ED) visits and improve the total quality measure score.
