The HHS Aim is to reduce health care acquired conditions for Medicare patients nationwide by 40% over the next three years. Alliant | GMCF will contribute to attaining this goal in the nursing home setting by providing technical assistance to facilities on the reduction of Pressure Ulcers (PrU) and Physical Restraints (PR).
In a National Nursing Home Learning and Action Network, the QIO will expand its efforts beyond physical restraints and pressure ulcers in nursing homes and begin to address other HACs for which an evidence base has been established.
