The Plot . . . “aka” the objectives
• Learn key strategies that will assist Quality Assurance
Performance Improvement (QAPI) meetings to be more
organized, more effective, and produce results.
• Share meeting agenda template designed specifically for QAPI
that incorporates an action and follow-up plan for EVERY
meeting.
• Learn when to form a PIP Team. Share PIP documentation tool.
• Familiarize participants with the “National Nursing Home Quality
Care Collaborative CHANGE Package” and “QAPI At A Glance”
document.
• Hear from three South Dakota DONs related to their QAPI best
practices.

The Backdrop: F520 Regulation 483.75(o) Quality Assessment and Assurance
1) A facility must maintain a quality assessment and
assurance committee consisting of: (i) the director of
nursing services; (ii) a physician designated by the facility,
and (iii) at least 3 other members of the facility’s staff.
2) . . . (i) Meets at least quarterly to identify issues with
respect to which quality assessment and assurance
activities are necessary; and (ii) develops and implements
appropriate plans of actions to correct identified quality
deficiencies.
The Long Term Care Survey Manual, AHCA, May 2013 Edition

F520 Regulation continued
3) A state or the Secretary may not require disclosure of the
records of such committee except insofar as such
disclosure is related to the compliance of such committee
with requirements of this section.
Surveyors will ask for a record of dates of your QAPI meetings and list
of attendee names and titles at each meeting. . .You do not have to
give them your notes unless you choose to do so.
4) Good faith attempts by the committee to identify and
correct quality deficiencies will not be used as a basis for
sanctions. The Long Term Care Survey Manual, AHCA, May 2013 Edition

F520 Guidance to Surveyors Section helpful
QA? QI? QAA? QAPI?
Technically have different meanings but are used
interchangeably. QAA is what is used in F520 now . . .
QAPI will probably be the term used in the sequel.
Root Cause Analysis mentioned frequently in the F520
Surveyor Guidance Section. Are you using this term in
your building with all staff and departments?
Action Plan and Follow Up mentioned frequently
6
Also Helpful: The Investigative Protocol Under Guidance to Surveyors in F520
Prior to the Survey Team visit they review:
• CASPER Quality Measure Reports
• 4 year history of the facilities’ deficiencies from past surveys,
revisits, and complaint surveys
• Look for repeat deficiencies
Survey Team will interview QAPI Committee Leader to
determine the PROCESS:
• How committee identifies current and ongoing issues
• Methods used to develop action plans
• How current action plans are being implemented
Survey Team will be looking that QAPI process is
demonstrated facility wide.

Behind the Scenes Get your cast and crew selected
Designate a leader for the QAPI Committee
• Need to BELIEVE in quality improvement
• Need to be organized
• Need to be given the time, resources, and equipment to do
the “behind the scenes” work
– Education, Long Term Care Survey Manual, CASPER QM
reports, computer, email
• Needs to be a good communicator with a hint of
outspokenness . . . Can he/she lead the Root Cause Analysis
(5 Why’s)?
• Needs to drive accountability
8
Behind the Scenes Get your cast and crew selected
• Director of Nursing
• Medical Director
• Administrator
• Board Member(s)
• Therapy
• Maintenance
• Laundry
• Housekeeping
• Social Services
• Activities
• Pharmacist
• MDS Coordinator
• Infection Control
Coordinator
Recommendation: Every
department is represented at
your QAPI Committee Meeting
9
QAPI Committee Roles
• RESPECT - Each discipline brings a UNIQUE
perspective
• Each discipline is responsible for a focus area Review the federal and state regulations that pertain to
member’s focus area. Know what drives the data on the QM
report.
• Develops and modifies the QAPI plan
• Reviews data measures
• Sets benchmarks and goals
• Prioritizes focus areas and PIPs Target high volume, high risk, problem prone areas first
Not every focus area requires a PIP
10
Meeting Ground Rules
• Meetings start and end on time (may consider having a
timekeeper)
• Use a consistent agenda/format
• Set a regular time and place for meeting
• Recommend MONTHLY QAPI meetings • If need be, post meeting reminders/send members reminders
(email works great, create email data base so easy to send
the group notices)
• Avoid distractions and maintain active engagement
• Create safe environment to brainstorm and voice concerns
• Expectation that everyone is prepared for meeting
11
Meeting Ground Rules continued . . . Best Practice Idea!
All members report on their focus areas in the
Agenda/Meeting Template PRIOR to QAPI meeting
Why?
• Saves time! Increases efficiency! Promotes action!
• Meeting time is reserved for real discussion of the facts, NOT to
enter the facts.
• Meeting minutes are essentially done with exception of QAPI
leader taking notes of attendance, action plans, and follow-up.
How?
• Put Agenda/Minutes Template on shared electronic drive – allows for easy
access for members to complete.
• QAPI Leader makes copies available for members at meeting.
12
Action Plans and Follow Up are the star attractions
Making action plans and following up
on those action plans at EVERY meeting is
key to producing results.
“It is not what the latest software or technology does.
It’s what the user does.”

Stunt Team aka “PIP Team”
erformance mprovement roject
Charter PIP teams with a specific mission to look into a
problem area. • Select those working closest to the challenge to explore the root cause and
problem solve (i.e. direct caregivers, dietary, housekeeping, even family
and residents in some cases).
• PIP team always includes one member from the QAPI Committee.
• PIP teams need to be given TIME to work on the issue. Give them a
timeline and a budget.
• Need a leader for the PIP team.
• Need to report back to the QAPI Committee.
• PIP teams must be considered VALUABLE and an important assignment.

Time Bound
WHAT IS THE ROOT CAUSE(S) FOR THE PROBLEM? Ask “Why is this happening?” 5 times. If you removed this root cause, would the event have been prevented?
Don’t know where to start - Have attended several QAPI education webinars and have even downloaded CMS, “QAPI At a Glance” doc but haven’t actually read the doc – time constraints have prevented taking action – it wasn’t a facility priority until now.
BARRIERS:
CMS final regulations for having the written QAPI plan in place not finalized. However, CMS has provided tools for QAPI education and implementation.

National Nursing Home Quality Care Collaborative “CHANGE Package” and “QAPI At A Glance”
“CHANGE Package”
• Gives a menu of strategies, change
concepts, and actionable items that
will be helpful in finding solutions to
challenge areas.
• It is not the intent that nursing
homes try to attempt every change
concept at the same time.
• Prioritize the areas where you feel
change is needed.
• Have document available at QAPI/
PIP meetings. Refer to the
document when trying to problem
solve and/or looking for ideas.
“QAPI At A Glance”
• It is the “nuts and bolts” of QAPI.
• Step by step guide to
implementing QAPI, including the
steps to write a written QAPI plan.
• Excellent problem solving models
outlined in this resource.
• Have copies available.
Both the “Change Package” and
“QAPI At A Glance” can be found
on the CMS, SDFMC websites
(addresses on resource slide)

FYI: A Way to Calculate Falls
Falls will be calculated by taking the total number of falls that have occurred
for one month and dividing it by the total number of resident days for that
same month. This figure will then be multiplied by 1000 to give you the
average number of falls per 1000 resident days.
