A small, hospital-based skilled nursing facility (SNF) was referred by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to Alliant Health Solutions (Alliant), a CMS Quality Innovation Network-Quality Improvement Organization (QIN-QIO), for assistance with increasing its resident COVID-19 booster rate. The QIN-QIO conducted a root-cause analysis (RCA) and helped the SNF use the Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) method to create an action plan to address the barriers uncovered by the RCA.
This template, developed by IPRO QIN-QIO, is intended to help nursing home staff identify the process or problem needing improvement related to increasing uptake of the COVID-19 bivalent vaccine. It helps facilities select SMART goals, identify baseline measurements, create a scope of plan, identify resources (several are also provided), identify potential barriers, develop mitigation strategies and includes a Data Collection Tool.
This resource, developed by IPRO QIN-QIO, is applicable to all health care settings. It provides resources and information on influenza, pneumococcal, and COVID-19 vaccines as well as strategies to implement a successful vaccine campaign.
This change package, developed by the Great Plains Quality Innovation Network, was created for nursing homes to help improve vaccination rates among residents and staff. It identifies barriers and challenges to influenza, pneumonia and COVID-19 vaccination and provides interventions supported by evidence-based tools and resources to improve vaccination quality measures and rates.
A small nursing home in a Midwest suburb struggling to increase its resident COVID-19 booster rate was referred by The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to TMF, a CMS Quality Innovation Network-Quality Improvement Organization (QIN-QIO) for assistance. With TMF’s help, the nursing home demonstrated a 53.5 percent increase in its resident COVID-19 booster rate from when it was first referred to the QIN-QIO and the last report to the National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) database in October 2022.
