Overview
How do you show that your QAPI program is effective as required by the Conditions of Participation? At no extra charge (paid for by your taxes), CMS comes to the rescue with CASPER and PEPPER reports. What better way to show surveyors that your QAPI program is all it should be than by using the tools CMS itself provides? The CASPER and PEPPER reports provide a treasure trove of data to mine. But don’t let that overwhelm you. This webinar will show you how to use these readily available tools to simplify your job while enriching your QAPI program.
Why you should Attend
An active, effective QAPI program is key to passing state surveys. But picking through data to find the agency’s highest risk areas on which to base your projects and tracking progress take so much time! Even then, what if you don’t get it right? How do you know your data is as accurate as it should be? And how do you know if it’s good enough to meet CoP criteria?
Using CMS’ ready-made tools for your QAPI program can help. Attend this webinar and learn how.
