On September 19, GNYHA's Continuing Care Leadership Coalition (CCLC) outlined its action plan to implement the administration of grant funds awarded to members of the GNYHA Quality Improvement Consortium (QIC). QIC is an 85-member group that applied for funds through GNYHA under the NYS Department of Health's (DOH's) Nursing Home Quality Improvement Demonstration Program. The grant funds will be used to help nursing facilities increase staff compensation, provide training on quality improvement through GNYHA, and support facility-specific initiatives with similar recruitment and retention goals for direct care staff. CCLC will also provide needed support to QIC members in implementing their quality-related initiatives, including planning and tracking through a Quality Improvement Support Network. GNYHA will also act as the interface with DOH staff who are administering the grant.
