Get leaders and teams excited about providing high-value care and services as they engage in learning about performance improvement and achieving excellence.

QAPI is the key to continuous growth and sustained performance improvement. An effective QAPI program requires full IDT participation and a data-driven approach that can be turned into action plans that minimize risk, maximize efficiencies, and improve resident outcomes.
