The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) believes that a hospital with a well-designed and well-maintained Quality Assessment and Performace Improvement (QAPI) program this is 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.
In March 2023, CMS issued new interpretive guidelines with information and direction for surveyors on assessing a hospital's QAPI program. Although those guidelines and procedures are not in the current Conditions of Participation manual, hospitals must still comply.
This webinar 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.
