Grant Summary

This grant supports nursing home residents, families, and staff impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI), as part of the Age-Friendly Health Systems initiative, has launched the COVID-19 Rapid Response Network for Nursing Homes. The Rapid Response Network aims to reduce COVID-19 infections, deaths and other harms among nursing home residents by engaging facilities as participants in the Age-Friendly Health Systems movement and providing access to best practices related to COVID-19 care. The activities include a daily National Nursing Home Huddle to provide real-time, pragmatic solutions that can be implemented in nursing homes to solve many of the key problems brought about or exacerbated by COVID-19.
