RCI Unveils Web Site for National Quality
Care Network
In 2007, the RCI in cooperation with Johnson & Johnson, launched the National Quality Care Network, a national network committed to promoting quality in the long-term, home and community-based care systems. The goal of the network is to bring together organizations, scientists and advocates involved in quality-improvement initiatives.
Initiatives used by members of the NQCN include the development and dissemination of evidence-based interventions for caregivers, workforce development, public education and advocacy, and ultimately policy, financing and regulatory activities. Each of these strategies will be the focus of at least one "Practice Community" within the NQCN.
The RCI is proud to report that the NQCN’s first three Practice Communities have now been established:
-
The Evidence-Based Practice community
-
The Workforce Development community
-
The Georgia Coalition for Caregiver Health
Learn about the NQCN members and the innovative work being done to help resolve our nation’s caregiving crisis by visiting the newly-created NQCN website: www.QualityCareConnections.org/NQCN.
If your agency or organization is interested in becoming a member of any of these three Practice Communities, contact Laura Bauer Granberry, Director of National Initiatives, at: lbauer@gsw.edu.
