CMPRP is currently accepting applications to be part of the Breakthrough Community. Due to receiving several requests for an extension to this deadline, we will now be accepting applications through Friday, August 17, 2018!
The Civil Money Penalty Reinvestment Program (CMPRP) would like to make you aware of the Breakthrough Community on Adverse Events, an exciting new program launched by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) designed to improve the quality of life and quality of care for nursing home residents.
The Breakthrough Community on Adverse Events is a voluntary opportunity for nursing homes to work collaboratively to test interventions that will lead to improvement in quality of life and quality of care for residents. The Breakthrough Community on Adverse Events is expected to last about one year. The CMPRP team believes that the participation of your nursing home will strengthen your ability to focus on quality improvement through a structured, evidence-based process. We believe the peer-to-peer model will greatly benefit nursing homes in your area through the opportunity to share and learn about quality improvement efforts and potentially support quality improvement in nursing homes nationwide. The effort starts with your nursing home – we encourage you to apply today!
The Breakthrough Community on Adverse Events application and FAQ documents provide more details about what you can expect from participating in this program!
