Event Summary
Numerous organizations have expressed interest in establishing a Long-Term Care Quality Alliance in an effort to achieve sustainable, high-value, and person-focused long-term care in the United States. Based on an initial meeting and subsequent discussions with a wide range of stakeholders, there is consensus that the Alliance should focus on implementing or speeding efforts to improve quality in long-term care and related areas at the person level, regardless of setting.
