HMP’s Annals of Long-Term Care: Clinical Care and Aging and ECRI Institute Announce Strategic Alliance
Malvern, PA (PRWEB) November 07, 2017 -- HMP, a leader in healthcare events and education, today announced that its peer-reviewed publication, Annals of Long-Term Care: Clinical Care and Aging® (ALTC), has formed a strategic alliance with ECRI Institute®, an independent nonprofit organization whose mission is to improve patient care by promoting the highest standards of safety, quality, and cost effectiveness in health care.
Through this alliance, readers of ALTC will benefit greatly from regular articles supplied by ECRI Institute on topics ranging from risk management, quality assurance and performance improvement (QAPI), to safety for persons served throughout the aging services continuum. In addition, ECRI Institute will gain significant reach into the long-term care community through ALTC’s robust print and digital distribution channels.
“We are very pleased to collaborate with ECRI Institute,” said Kara A. Rosania, MSc, editorial director, oncology and managed markets divisions, HMP. “The alliance will not only allow ALTC to offer more value to its readers, through a greater breadth of information on aging services and risk management, but will also increase ECRI’s visibility and impact in the long-term care field.”
The first ECRI Institute-generated content, an executive summary of the ECRI White Paper “Legal Discovery and QAPI: A Tale of Two Risks®,” appeared in the September/October 2017 print issue of ALTC. The summary was coauthored and facilitated by Victor Lane Rose, MBA, NHA, CPASRM, aging services operations manager, ECRI Institute. Mr. Rose joined the ALTC editorial advisory board earlier this year and facilitated the ECRI-ALTC alliance.
“This strategic alliance between ECRI Institute and ALTC is a relationship between two organizations with complementary missions who are joining together to facilitate innovative strategies for care improvement wherever opportunities emerge. Through this alliance, we aim to reach all long-term care stakeholders within the aging services continuum to help them reduce risk, prevent harm, and continuously improve care quality for persons served,” said Mr. Rose.
