About Moving Forward Nursing Home Quality Coalition

In April 2023, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) Released the first comprehensive study of the challenges facing nursing homes in the United States in 35 years. The National Imperative to Improve Nursing Home Quality: Honoring Our Commitment to Residents, Families and Staff examines how our nation delivers, finances, regulates, and measures the quality of nursing home care with particular emphasis on challenges that have arisen in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. LeadingAge is establishing a project that includes a broad coalition of stakeholders to activate the policy and operational recommendations of the NASEM study report. We seek an experienced program manager to assist in driving these efforts forward.
