The Ohio Move to Improve Campaign for Excellence

The Ohio Move to Improve Campaign for Excellence is a systematic effort to work with 100 Ohio agencies to help them achieve measurable improvement in their acute care hospitalization and management of oral medications by July 1, 2012.  It began on January 1, 2011.  The first six months will be data collection, training on a proven improvement model, and support for developing a new, responsive clinical model to improve re-hospitalization outcomes.  From July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2012, participants will be supported in making the right moves to improve the re-hospitalization outcome.

The campaign has five goals:

  1. To lower hospitalization rates.  (HH Compare)
  2. To improve management of oral medication scores. (HH Compare)
  3. To improve overall quality outcomes
  4. To assist in creating a more responsive clinical model.
  5. To increase profit/Medicare episode.
