AAPACN’s
QM Rescue Guide helps facility leaders review and improve their facility’s quality measures (QMs). This downloadable PDF guide provides an overview of QMs, including how they are measured, how to review each measure from a clinician’s standpoint, and the steps necessary to improve outcomes. AHCA members receive exclusive
AAPACN member pricing on the guide which is 50% off AAPACN non-member prices.
Improving a measure is not a quick fix, especially to make a correction sustainable. Rescuing a QM is a multi-step process that takes time and commitment. It requires a comprehensive approach with a review of full systems to identify any concerns, gaps, and areas for improvement.
Use the QM Rescue Guide to:
- Triage all QMs to identify which measures and system to prioritize for quality improvement
- Develop and review facility policies and procedures to achieve the best QM outcomes
- Identify the root cause of poor QM outcomes
- Create a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) to address identified quality problems
- Audit 18 key systems that affect QM outcomes across multiple quality initiative programs
The
QM Rescue Guide picks up where
AAPACN’s QM Survival Guide leaves off. The
QM Survival Guide provides the facility QM point person with an in-depth resource for all QMs and the tools to audit the MDS for accuracy. Once the MDS is determined to be accurate, the team must look to the root cause and clinical systems to make improvements — this is where the
QM Rescue Guide comes in.
This expansive
QM Rescue Guide (view the
table of contents) has 18 comprehensive audit tools to assist the team in finding the root cause of problems to strengthen systems and improve outcomes. The guide includes QM descriptions and look-back periods to determine which residents need reviewed and includes AAPACN’s
QM At-A-Glance tool.
