Eastern Mercy Health System (EMHS) developed a collaborative quality improvement process for skilled nursing and long-term care (SN/LTC). This model uses outcome-based indicators and information exchange to achieve measurable benefits across facilities.

Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Management
  • Quality Improvement Science
  • Geriatric Care

Background:

  • Skilled nursing and long-term care (SN/LTC) facilities face challenges in consistent quality improvement.
  • A collaborative approach can leverage shared learning and best practices across diverse healthcare settings.
  • Eastern Mercy Health System (EMHS) sought to standardize and enhance quality initiatives within its network.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a novel, collaborative process for identifying quality improvement opportunities in SN/LTC.
  • To implement outcome-based indicators for measuring and driving improvements.
  • To foster a cyclical information exchange among system members.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a collaborative model involving freestanding and hospital-based SN/LTC facilities.

  • Utilization of defined, outcome-based indicators to pinpoint areas for quality enhancement.
  • Implementation of a cyclical process for information sharing and feedback.

    • Main Results:

    • The collaborative process facilitated the identification of specific quality improvement opportunities.
    • Member facilities realized measurable benefits by adapting system-wide lessons to their unique operational contexts.
    • The cyclical information exchange fostered continuous learning and adaptation.

    Conclusions:

    • A collaborative, indicator-driven approach can effectively enhance quality in SN/LTC settings.
    • Sharing lessons learned across a healthcare system leads to tangible improvements.
    • The EMHS model provides a scalable framework for quality advancement in long-term care.
