Quality Improvement in Healthcare

Dr. Jean Storm, the Medical Director for Quality Insights, discusses the work of the quality improvement organization in improving health and healthcare. The organization brings people and information together to provide up-to-date information to patients, providers, and facilities. Dr. Storm highlights two key projects: one focused on improving health for Medicare beneficiaries in areas such as hypertension, diabetes, and opioid misuse, and another focused on supporting nursing homes with vaccination, and education around infection control and opioid use disorder. She also emphasizes the importance of reducing stigma around opioid use disorder and the need for education and support in nursing homes.
