About Us
The Moving Forward Coalition was launched in 2022 to bring together diverse leaders, stakeholders, and experts to address long‑standing challenges in nursing home quality. Guided by The National Imperative to Improve Nursing Home Quality, the landmark 2022 National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine report, the Coalition came together to prioritize recommendations, build consensus, and develop action plans grounded in lived experience and evidence.
From the beginning, the Coalition was designed to do more than produce recommendations. We exist to turn consensus into action and to make sure the NASEM report recommendations do not just sit on a shelf. We are testing practical solutions, learning from implementation, and translating those lessons into policy‑relevant insights that can strengthen nursing home quality nationwide.
Now in our fourth year, the Coalition serves as a national hub for implementation, learning, and leadership. We are leading collaborative quality improvement initiatives, convening residents, clinicians, owner/operators, advocates, researchers, and policymakers around shared priorities, and building the infrastructure, resources, and community needed to sustain progress over time. Across all our work, we focus on strengthening the conditions that make nursing homes places where people want to live, work, and receive care.
