QAPI is not easy if you are first starting out or if you have been doing it a long time. WHY? Because it takes time, you need an understanding of concepts to be successful at it and you need to involve all of your staff to really have it help your agency and be compliant. QAPI helps your agency improve patient and therefore agency outcomes, which is so necessary with the 5 Star ratings and with Value Based Purchasing, which is Pay for Performance!  Agencies that cannot improve their outcomes will have a difficult time having long term viability.

QAPI also will help your agency to avoid the daily ‘Fire’s, as you will Fix the Root of Problems and therefore not have a Crisis Du Jour! So you can then have the time you need to ensure your QAPI program is a good one!

As you progress in your Quality Indicators and PIPs, you will also find that you are in greater compliance with your clinical documentation, processes and home visits. This will lessen you risk of having condition level deficiencies or Immediate Jeopardy! You will avoid the risk of sanctions by doing his as well.

A successful QAPI program can help you be efficient in your agency operations as well and as we have to be so mean and lean today, this is of major importance!
