Our goal is to contribute to a 40% national reduction in pressure ulcers and restraint use in nursing homes.
As the patient safety field experts for the Medicare program, Qsource provides nursing homes with tools to establish an organizational culture that supports patient safety, improves clinical processes, and reduces healthcare-acquired conditions (HACs). Together, we have the same goal: safer, more reliable patient care. We are actively working with nursing homes to contribute to a 40% national reduction in HAC rates by
- Reducing rates of pressure ulcers in nursing homes, and/or
- Reducing rates of physical restraint use in nursing homes
We help nursing homes succeed in reducing HACs by providing customized
- onsite consultation

- evidence-based tools and resources
- ongoing education
