Introduction

MPRO continues to formally honor extraordinary nursing homes that are active in quality improvement for long-term care. Exceptional health care providers have the opportunity to be recognized with the 2007 Michigan Award of Excellence for Improving Care in the Nursing Home Setting.

The criteria for the Michigan Award of Excellence for Improving Care in the Nursing Home Setting are based on MPRO's Nursing Home Quality Improvement Initiative. The 8th Scope of Work (8SOW) quality measures in the award have been designated as national health care priorities by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.

Nursing homes may receive the award in one or more areas:

  • Reducing Pressure Ulcers
  • Identifying and Reducing Pain
  • Reducing Physical Restraints
  • Identifying and Managing Depression

New this year: 2007 MPRO’s Distinguished Award of Excellence
