TMF QIN’s Persistence and Focus on Partnership Helps Nursing Home Increase its Resident COVID-19 Vaccination Rate to 100 Percent

In January 2023, a large metro-area facility in Texas was referred by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to TMF Quality Innovation Network (TMF QIN), a Quality Innovation Network-Quality Improvement Organization (QIN-QIO), to increase nursing home resident COVID-19 vaccinations.
