Moving Forward Nursing Home Quality Coalition and Michigan Health Endowment Fund: Initiative to Improve Nursing Homes in Michigan
The national Moving Forward Nursing Home Quality Coalition and Michigan Health Endowment Fund have launched an initiative to support state-based nursing home improvements.
The initiative began as a pilot program in June 2023. The project aims to overcome challenges in achieving high-quality nursing home care through the formation of a Michigan State Leadership Team composed of state government leaders, experts, clinicians, advocates and nursing home residents who will focus on teamwork, quality improvement, and health equity in local nursing homes.
Over the next two years, the Michigan State Leadership Team will work with one or more national advisors and educators to develop the quality improvement and leadership skills of the state team. The Michigan team will then work with up to five Michigan nursing homes on learning and implementing those same skills.
The Moving Forward Coalition is a diverse group of individuals and organizations that came together in July 2022 to prioritize recommendations from the 2022 National Academies report on nursing home quality.
