Join the Long-Term Care Data Cooperative

Joining the LTC Data Cooperative is a straightforward and cost-free opportunity for skilled nursing facilities and assisted living communities. By participating, your organization gains access to valuable tools and insights that support quality improvement and resident care. Participation is cost-free, and requires minimal effort required from your team.

Benefits of Participation

You will help your organization get understandable, meaningful quality reports across a wide range of topics. 
  • You will receive reports on the number of residents with a hospitalization visit, schizophrenia diagnoses, and reports on medication use to help better address residents’ needs and avoid adverse events. 
  • You may be able to calculate vaccination rates for reporting and monitoring that can reduce burden on your staff.
  • You can engage payers in discussions about quality of care using your own clinical data and national benchmarks not available elsewhere.
Additionally, the system will support public health surveillance and allow researchers to generate real-world evidence on the effectiveness of different treatments and care practices, such as looking at how antiviral treatments for COVID or influenza work in our population.
