The American Health Care Association and National Center for Assisted Living (AHCA/NCAL) named Vincent Mor, PhD, the 2016 recipient of the Mary K. Ousley Champion of Quality Award for his contributions to quality in the long term and post-acute care community. “Vince’s passion for research has produced innovative care strategies that are delivering positive outcomes for many of our patients and residents,” said Mary Ousley, AHCA Quality Cabinet Co-Chair and namesake of the award. “His collaborative efforts have transformed technical, scientific data into important real-life quality improvement resources that have proven essential for our profession by giving us the tools to examine state and federal policies in the clinical assessments of long term care residents.”

Dr. Mor is Director of the the Center for Long-Term Care Quality & Innovation, in the School of Public Health which partners with providers and other innovators to test and disseminate interventions to improve post-acute and long-term care.
