AHRQ Innovations Exchange

AHRQ Innovations Exchange



AHRQ’s Innovations Exchange Focuses on Policy Innovations in Long-Term Care

The latest issue of AHRQ’s Health Care Innovations Exchangefeatures two profiles about innovative policies and programs designed to improve the quality of long-term care. One featured profile describes how 14 long-term care facilities improved vaccination rates by participating in the Raising Immunizations Safely and Effectively (RISE) program. Under the program, developed by the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, the facilities turned over control of their vaccination-related policies and processes to a regional pharmacy and then collaborated on implementation and enforcement. The policy change under RISE enabled all participating facilities to reach the Healthy People 2010 goal of vaccinating 60 percent of workers in long-term care settings and several facilities to exceed the Healthy People 2020 goal of vaccinating 90 percent of workers. The Innovations Exchange includesmore profiles and tools related to long-term care.
