2025 QIP Collaborative: Unlocking the Full Potential of Quality and Reimbursement - Data Collection and Analysis: Leveraging Frozen Quality Measures

February 20, 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 begin with a review of the newly available data for the previously frozen quality measures, providing participants with updated information and actionable insights. Participants will then learn how to integrate these data-driven approaches into their team dynamics to drive continuous improvement. We will emphasize the importance of fostering a culture of collaboration and accountability within healthcare teams. By applying the lessons learned from the QIP Collaborative group work, participants will gain strategies to create an environment of trust and mutual responsibility in their nursing home settings, ensuring accountability across all levels of care.
