SUMMARY:CMS Hospital QAPI Standards 2023
DESCRIPTION:\n\n \n\n\n\n\nDate: 6/22/23\n9:00 – 11:00 A.M.  Central time\n\n \nRegistration fees:      $225 per facility      |     Non-Members Registration Fee:  $350 per facility\n\nRECOMMENDED AUDIENCE:\nChief Medical Officer, Chief Nursing Officer, Compliance Officer, Emergency Department Personnel, Joint Commission Coordinator, Medical Records, Quality Improvement personnel, Risk Manager, Legal Counsel.\nOVERVIEW:\nQuality Assessment and Performance Improvement (QAPI) Conditions of Participation deficiencies are the third most frequently cited of the 24 Conditions for Medicare-certified hospitals. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) believes that a hospital with a well-designed and well-maintained QAPI program that 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 2020, CMS published updated QAPI standards, but the interpretive guidelines for the regulation were delayed. Some of the changes included a section in the QAPI standards that address patient safety and risk management. In March 2023, CMS issued new interpretive guidelines with information and directions for surveyors on assessing a hospital’s QAPI program. 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.\n\n\n\n\nLEARNING OBJECTIVES:\nAt the conclusion of this session, participants should be able to:\n\nRecall that hospitals are receiving a high number of QAPI deficiencies and the common citations.\nDiscuss that the governing body and hospital leadership are responsible for the QAPI program, its implementation and completion.\nRecite key requirements for a QAPI program that will be reviewed and assessed during a survey.\nDescribe areas to be assessed during a survey and what surveyors will be reviewing.\nRecall that CMS surveyors will review policies in place and observe for implementation of such policies and procedures.\n\n\nSPEAKER: \nLaura A.
