Nursing Home Quality
Members of the Statewide Committee for Improving MDS Assessment and Use and QIPMO have developed educational materials to assist long-term care facilities with the Resident Assessment Instrument (RAI) processes, such as the Minimum Data Set (MDS). Quality Indicators (QIs) derived from the MDS were developed as a way of providing feedback to facilities about their quality of care and provide one way of using the MDS data for quality monitoring and improvement. The MDS team has found that facilities that use their QI reports and on-site clinical consultations with gerontological nursing specialists from the MDS team’s Quality Improvement Program for Missouri (QIPMO) program improve the quality of care they deliver and improve resident outcomes.
