QAPI Standards and Expectations for Hospitals – What Trustees Need to Know
Thursday, June 6, 2024 |Noon–1 p.m. CST
Speaker: Laura A. Dixon, BS, JD, RN, CPHRM, President, Healthcare Risk Education and Consulting, LLC, Denver, CO
Quality Assessment and Performance Improvement (QAPI) Conditions of Participation deficiencies are the third most frequently cited of the 24 Conditions for Medicare-certified hospitals. CMS believes that a hospital with a well-designed and well-maintained QAPI program, fully engaged in hospital-wide continuous assessment and improvement efforts can significantly enhance its ability to provide high quality and safe care to its patients, reduce the incidence of medical errors and adverse events throughout the hospital.
This program will discuss the revised CMS hospital QAPI standards and the new applicable interpretive guidelines. Included will be a discussion on CMS expectations for hospital leadership and the governing body with respect to oversight and execution of the QAPI.
