Since 2002, Oklahoma nursing homes have worked hand-in-hand with OFMQ to improve the quality of life for their residents. OFMQ provides training and assistance with interventions and tools to help nursing homes improve quality measures, improve resident and staff satisfaction, and transition from institutional enviornments to a person-centered model of care. OFMQ has helped lead this culture change movement with expert resources and change strategies. 

Today, we serve as the local convener for the national Advancing Excellence in America's Nursing Homes campaign and, as the Quality Improvement Organization for Oklahoma, we are working with nursing homes to reduce healthcare-acquired conditions, including pressure ulcers and falls.  

OFMQ has key partnerships with the State Department of Health, Oklahoma Association of Health Care Providers, Oklahoma Association of Homes and Services for the Aging, State Ombudsman's Office, Oklahoma Nurses Association, Oklahoma Medical Directors Association, Oklahoma Health Care Authority, Oklahoma Directors of Nursing Association and Advancing Excellence. These relationships expand our collective knowledge and resources, improve communication among all parties and help to achieve greater and more immediate improvements in the quality of nursing home care.
