Labor-Management teams from the Advanced Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation in New Haven and the West Hartford Health and Rehabilitation Center are participating in an 18 month project: Quality Improvement in Connecticut Nursing Homes through Labor-Management Collaboration. The project is funded by FMCS (Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service), and is being managed by the Training Fund and Qualidigm. The teams began the project with a two day Kick-off Training on January 8-9, and are planning to roll their work out in their nursing homes in the coming months.
