Nursing homes continue to face real challenges building leadership capacity and sustaining meaningful Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement (QAPI) work amid staffing shortages, leadership turnover, and competing demands. The Moving Forward Michigan initiative was designed to test a practical, affordable approach to strengthening leadership skills and QAPI readiness in under-resourced nursing homes.
Over an 18-month period, four Michigan nursing homes participated in a program that combined short, online leadership education, hands-on coaching, and structured QAPI training tied directly to real Performance Improvement Projects. Teams applied what they were learning in real time, with coaches helping translate concepts into action and keep momentum going.
In this webinar, you’ll hear directly from one of the participating nursing homes and share key lessons from the project’s mixed-methods evaluation, including what worked, what was challenging, and why coaching emerged as the critical ingredient for success. The webinar will highlight practical tools developed through the project, including an open-access QAPI Workbook and updated leadership modules from NurseLEAD, a training program that fosters critical leadership and supervisory skills for nurse managers and team leaders.
