The Advancing Excellence Campaign (AE) builds on the successes of the CMS Nursing Home Quality Initiative (NHQI), and the AHCA Quality First Initiative, enhancing efforts to improve the quality of care and quality of life for those living or recuperating in America's nursing homes.
The campaign's unprecedented coalition includes long-term care providers, caregivers, medical and quality improvement experts, government agencies, consumers, and others.
IPRO invites ALL New York State Nursing Homes to register to participate and join other nursing facilities across the nation that are focused on quality. The work you are doing in the Nursing Home Quality Initiative (NHQI) meets the requirements for your participation in the Advancing Excellence (AE) Campaign. Each member of the Nursing Home Staff may personally register. Also, residents, family members, advocates, and others who care about quality nursing home care may register as Consumers.
These are the AE goals and the interventional guides to assist in meeting these goals.
Clinical Quality GoalsAdvancing Excellence requires Nursing Homes to working on three or more of the eight campaign goals, including at least one clinical quality goal and one organizational improvement goal. Data collection and reporting for the clinical quality goals (Goals 1-4) is automatic; however, additional steps are required to collect data on the organizational improvement goals (Goals 5-8) {ie: such as annual review and updating targets on the STAR website.} Obtain additional details and register on the Advancing Excellence website.
