Driving Quality in Long-Term Care: A Board of Directors Dashboard. Government-Industry Roundtable. Held on December 6, 2007

摘要

On December 6, 2007, the Office of Inspector General (OIG) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Health Care Compliance Association (HCCA) co-sponsored a government-industry roundtable called Driving for Quality in Long-Term Care: A Board of Directors Dashboard. The roundtable discussions provided representatives from the long-term care industry with an opportunity to share experiences and inform OIG and HCCA of issues surrounding boards of directors oversight of quality of care. The roundtable discussions were opportunities for members of the industry to share with each other ways to improve boards of directors oversight of quality and to discuss issues related to such oversight. One of the goals of the roundtable was to specify items that could be included on a Quality of Care Dashboard to be offered as a tool for boards of directors of long-term care organizations.
