The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) Nursing Home Quality report recommends that states “develop and operate state-based…technical assistance programs…to help nursing homes…improve care and…operations.” The Quality Improvement Program for Missouri (QIPMO) is one such program. This longitudinal evaluation examined and compared differences in quality measures (QMs) and nursing home (NH) characteristics based on intensity of QIPMO services used.
