The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality's (AHRQ) release of its second annual State Snapshots based on the
National Healthcare Quality Report highlights the improved quality in our nation's nursing homes - improvements made possible by an unprecedented ongoing partnership and cooperation between QIOs and individual nursing homes in every state. The QIOs are state-based organizations that provide hands-on assistance to local health care providers and entities to help them improve the health care system.
Though the AHRQ data illustrate significant improvement in select patient outcomes, it does not reveal how the culture of cooperation between nursing homes and QIOs is accelerating the quality gains in America's long term care system.
