Assisted living exists out of a desire to serve and support residents by offering care and services that deliver a high quality of life. Quality assurance and performance improvement (QAPI) programs create reactive and proactive actions that help assisted living communities address problems and create a roadmap for consistently improving care and service delivery.
NCAL offers a 35-minute online course titled
Quality Assurance Performance Improvement 101 for Assisted Living that walks through the principles of creating a systematic, comprehensive data-driven approach to quality improvement. The training reviews the five elements of a QAPI program that create the framework for quality assisted living care and services.
The course objectives include:
- Describe what quality assurance performance improvement is.
- Discuss steps to implement a quality assurance performance improvement program.
- Explain how to conduct a root cause analysis.
The course fee is $25 for NCAL members and $65 for non-members. There are no CEs but attendees who complete the course receive a certificate of completion.
