Why Should You Attend:

This program is a must attend for any hospital. This is because it is one of only three sections with a CMS worksheet. It will also discuss the CMS hospital QAPI standards. There is high number of deficiencies and these will be discussed. There are over 1,600 deficiencies any many that relate to patient safety. This program will also cover some proposed changes to QAPI. CMS is going to implement similar QAPI standards for critical access hospitals in the proposed Hospital Improvement Rule.

If CMS showed up at your door tomorrow would you be able to show that you are in compliance with the QAPI standards? Did you know there is a section in the QAPI standards that address patient safety and risk management? It requires hospitals to have 3 root cause analysis. Hospitals were also cited for not having a number of required policies and procedures.

Every hospital that accepts Medicare and Medicaid must be in compliance. The CMS QAPI worksheet is an excellent communication tool so that the hospital will know what the expectations are from CMS. QAPI is an important issue to CMS and an increased area of focus.

This program will discuss the memo that CMS issued regarding the AHRQ common formats. CMS states that there are several reports that show that adverse events are not being reported. In fact, it is estimated that 86% of adverse event are never reported to the hospital’s PI program. Performance improvement is very important to CMS and the hospital conditions of participation require many things to be measured.
