  • Solicitation of Interest: Participation in a Study of On-Time Quality Improvement for Long Term Car (PDF, 252KB, 32pg.)

    The Department of Health has released a Solicitation of Interest (SOI) to recruit between 12 to 15 New York State nursing homes to participate in a study of quality improvement in long term care related to pressure ulcer prevention. The study will compare a group of nursing homes that have implemented the On-Time Quality Improvement for Long Term Care program (On-Time) and a group of nursing homes that have not implemented On-Time but may have implemented other quality improvement efforts.

    On-Time is an innovative evidence-based quality improvement project that combines health information technology for CNAs, clinical decision making reports, and process improvements with front-line caregiver teams. However, it has not been rigorously evaluated by comparing its effectiveness to pressure ulcer quality improvement projects other than On-Time.

    This SOI is for nursing homes who have not implemented On-Time QI but may have implemented other QI projects that focus on pressure ulcer prevention. Project duration will not exceed 6 months. Anticipated project start date is September, 2010.

    This project is an ideal activity for nursing homes that participate in the New York Statewide Pressure Ulcer Improvement Initiative. Nursing homes can use participation in this study to support their own internal quality improvement projects to prevent pressure ulcers. An incentive to participate is that control nursing homes will be offered expert training on the completion of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 Section M Skin Conditions. The training, offered by the organizations that CMS contracted with to develop this section of the MDS 3.0, is free to control nursing homes.
