Revisiting Teaching Nursing Homes, Phase II: Disseminating Across Pennsylvania

Grant Summary

This grant will continue implementation of a contemporary version of the Teaching Nursing Homes model to demonstrate how enhanced partnerships between academic nursing programs and nursing homes can improve quality. This phase builds on a prior grant that established partnerships between four nursing homes and three schools of nursing in Pennsylvania. The next phase will spread the model to 400 nursing homes and 30 schools of nursing in Pennsylvania, promote nursing home participation in the Age-Friendly Health Systems movement and have at least six other states engaged in the Revisiting Teaching Nursing Homes model. Jewish Healthcare Foundation co-funds this initiative.
