LTQA Mission

To improve the effectiveness and efficiency of care and the quality of life of people receiving long-term services and supports by fostering person- and family-centered quality measurement and advancing innovative best practices.

How can the LTQA make a difference?

The LTQA can work to make advancements in the quality of life of people receiving long-term services and supports by:

• Facilitating dialogue and partnerships among all provider organizations that serve people needing long-term services and supports to help break down the provider silos in which quality initiatives have occurred.
• Bringing consumers and family caregivers together with LTC providers and government agencies to agree on goals and associated measures of greatest concern.
• Making stronger links between quality measurement goals and evidence-based practices to achieve them?
• Collaborating with other quality improvement organizations on common priorities and goals.
