Using QAPI in Nursing Homes Part 1 - Brainstorming

To give residents the highest level of care, nursing homes need to course-correct when problems occur – or identify problems before an adverse event can occur. One way to achieve sustained improvement is the Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement (QAPI) process.For the next three episodes, we’ll do a deep-dive on the QAPI process with animated examples and discussion. In this episode, we focus on the brainstorming stage.We're joined by Patty Austin, a quality improvement specialist at Quality Insights.
