Certified Harmony Healthcare International QAPI Professional

2-Day Program

November 13-14, 2017

8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

This 2-day course offers participants a robust understanding of the QAPI methodology. Quality Assurance & Performance Improvement (QAPI) is a data-driven, proactive approach to improving the quality of life, care, and services in organizational settings. CMS requires that healthcare entities implement and effectively demonstrate a program that encompasses the principals and methods associated with ongoing monitoring of outcomes. A QAPI program provides the facility level team members a forum and platform to identify areas of growth, risk and refinement that potentially impact the quality of care rendered to the patient population or negatively impinge on the financial well-being of the organization.

The Harmony Healthcare International (HHI) QAPI Certification Program helps provide the tools and framework for members at all levels of the organization to:

  • Identify opportunities for improvement
  • Address gaps in systems or processes
  • Develop and implement an improvement or corrective plan
  • Continuously monitor effectiveness of interventions

Effective QAPI programs are critical to improving the quality of life, quality of care and quality of services that are delivered in nursing homes.

Certification is obtained with a passing score on the online exam.

Recommended Audience: Owners, Operators, CEO, CFO, Compliance Officers, Administrators, Nursing Management, Rehabilitation Management, Nurses, Therapists, Business Office Managers, Risk Managers, Safety Officers, IT Personnel
