Quality improvement efforts in the nursing home setting are focused on clinical topics important to Oklahoma's Medicare beneficiaries and that the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has identified as national patient safety priorities.  OFMQ collaborates with Oklahoma nursing homes to help improve performance in quality of care for these topics.  Through consulting, training and special events, we provide Oklahoma's nursing homes with intervention strategies, resources and tools to improve care.     

The national priority clinical topics for the nursing home setting are reducing the use of physical restraints amd improving prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers.
