Moving Forward Coalition

Great Coalition Conversation with Doug Pace, Lauren Stratton, PhD and Heather Hosey yesterday! We heard all about their work to bring principles and practices of person-centered care to #Michigan surveyors. If surveyor training on person-centered care is something you want to see in your state, let us know.

Thought-provoking article in Health Affairs on the impact of the loss of public health emergency funding on nursing home financial viability. Read it here: https://lnkd.in/gQXKjNyF For the Coalition, the key takeaway is that though the public health emergency is over, the crisis in nursing homes is not. Policymakers and legislators cannot forget about the complex needs, high vulnerability, and dignity of nursing home residents and staff. Funding is one part of it. Quality improvement, effective oversight, and workforce training and recruitment are also vital! Let's keep the conversation about nursing home quality and sustainability going! #MovingForward #nursinghome
