2025 QIP Collaborative: Unlocking the Full Potential of Quality and Reimbursement – Collaborative Problem-Solving in Performance Improvement Process Implementation

April 17, 2025

The 2025 QIP Collaborative comes at a critical time as Ohio Medicaid reimbursement undergoes significant changes. These shifts will have a direct impact on nursing home providers, and this collaborative is designed to ensure that participants are fully informed and prepared to navigate these changes. Throughout the series, providers will receive timely updates on these developments, helping them understand how the evolving landscape will affect both their quality measures and reimbursement. Additionally, LeadingAge Ohio is excited to share that participants will meet the new Ohio Administrative Code language for the Nursing Home Quality Initiative found in Chapter 173-60 of the OAC, which became effective in November, by participating in this collaborative. This collaborative will build on the evidence-based practices from previous years while focusing on a more interactive, group-centered approach. Participants will work together in groups based on their selected quality measure, applying evidence-based strategies and working through each stage of the Performance Improvement Process (PIP) with guidance and support. This collaborative will foster a peer-driven learning environment, allowing participants to share insights, refine their approaches, and track progress. Facility-specific reporting will be provided, ensuring providers can make data-driven decisions while staying informed on updates to Ohio Medicaid reimbursement and QIP changes.

This session will explore how leadership can facilitate collaborative problem-solving as teams work through challenges during the PIP implementation for their selected quality measure. Participants will learn strategies for identifying and addressing barriers to progress, encouraging open communication, and promoting teamwork. Leadership will play a key role in fostering a problem-solving mindset while keeping the focus on the facility’s PIP goals. Participants will leave with actionable strategies to keep their teams aligned, engaged, and committed to overcoming obstacles throughout the PIP process.
