NASHP’s Nursing Home Learning Collaborative brings together seven states that are working to improve care for nursing home residents. Priority issues in nursing home reform include quality, staffing, oversight, payment, and ownership. Innovations from the Nursing Home Learning Collaborative states can serve as examples for states seeking to advance similar reforms.

Speakers will share such insights as:
