Based on the 2022 NASEM Report on Nursing Home Quality, the Moving Forward Coalition was formed to develop action plans to be tested starting now. The Coalition convened working committees, including medical directors, geriatricians, researchers, directors of nursing, advocates, nursing home residents, and others, as well as a steering committee.

This session will describe steps that medical directors and other nursing home leaders have taken to implement quality improvement programs in nursing homes that contributed to improvements in practice, clinical outcomes, and nursing home resident self-described quality of life. Leaders will discuss how they influence teams through active listening and commitment to creating meaningful change that impacts not only resident well-being but staff satisfaction and retention. We will also discuss strategies that can address workforce engagement and empowerment.

Learning Objectives:

At the completion of this session, learners will be able to:
  • Describe at least two leadership principles to promote adoption of quality improvement programs in nursing homes.
  • Synthesize important concepts for inter-professional teams to promote resident-directed living (person-centeredness) and improved quality of life.
  • Articulate at least one specific action that they plan to take once they return to their nursing home practice setting.
