DESCRIPTION: The "Upper Midwest Long-Term Care Quality Summit" sponsored by the National Institute of Health Policy, University of St. Thomas (MN), is a collaborative effort to move quality improvement to a new level: beyond individual, internal nursing home transformation to a community-wide embrace of high-quality long-term care. To date quality improvement has been an essential internal management step, but an external environment is needed that will tolerate and support necessary changes. The current environment is shaped by payment and regulatory policies, which may run directly counter to quality improvement strategies, or at least create barriers to their implementation. By bringing all relevant stakeholders to the table, the conference will identify common ground and create new partnerships. The February 2006 conference is designed to meet two AHRQ conference approaches: formulate a research agenda through conference discussion that will reaffirm and contribute new thinking for improvement of a community-wide approach to nursing home and long term care quality; and develop a research infrastructure to test the long term quality ideals put forth by the participants. One or more innovative partnerships among a variety of constituencies in Minnesota and Wisconsin - providers, payers, regulators, consumer advocates - will collaborate to create the necessary infrastructure to appropriately plan and implement a major demonstration project(s). Effort to address residence-level issues, such as quality of life and satisfaction have been championed, but have fallen short on creating truly effective models that demonstrate the positive impact of a collaborative, community-wide approach to long term care quality. A final policy paper to be completed at the conclusion of the conference will be presented to the National Commission for Quality Long-term Care. The anticipated number of participants will be 100-120, on an invitation basis, including all members of the National Commission for Quality Long-term Care, members of organizations with an interest in quality improvement in nursing homes as well as providers, regulators, payers, consumers, legislators, and academics.

描述：由圣托马斯大学（MN）国家卫生研究院政策赞助的“上西部长期护理质量峰会”是一项合作的努力，旨在将质量改进到新的水平：超越个人，内部疗养院转变为社区范围内的高质量长期护理。 迄今为止，质量改善一直是内部管理的重要步骤，但是需要一个外部环境，以容忍并支持必要的变化。 当前的环境是由付款和监管政策塑造的，这些政策可能直接与质量改进策略相反，或者至少为实施造成了障碍。 通过将所有相关的利益相关者带到桌面上，会议将确定共同点并建立新的伙伴关系。 2006年2月的会议旨在符合两种AHRQ会议方法：通过会议讨论制定研究议程，该会议将重申并为改善社区范围的疗养院和长期护理质量的方法做出新的思维；并开发研究基础设施来测试参与者提出的长期质量理想。 明尼苏达州和威斯康星州的各种组成部分之间的一种或多种创新伙伴关系 - 提供者，付款人，监管机构，消费者倡导者 - 将合作创建必要的基础架构，以适当计划并实施一个重大的示范项目。 为解决居住水平问题（例如生活质量和满意度）而努力的努力已经受到倡导，但缺乏创建真正有效的模型，这些模型证明了协作，社区范围内的长期护理质量的积极影响。 会议结束时要完成的最终政策文件将介绍给国家质量长期护理委员会。 预期的参与者人数为100-120，包括国家质量长期护理委员会的所有成员，对疗养院质量提高的组织成员以及提供者，监管机构，付款人，消费者，立法者和学者。
