QAPI is the merger of two complementary approaches for Quality and Performance.

Quality Assurance (QA) and Performance Improvement (PI).

QAPI is the comprehensive way to help ensure higher quality-of-care, with measureable performance indicators.  Like all performance models, QAPI incorporates 5-Elements and aligns to Star Ratings.  The 5-Elements of QAPI leads to: re-evaluate workflow, leadership, information gathering, daily process evaluation, time management, and resource allocation.

While Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement are very different activities:

• QA is the process of meeting quality standards and assuring that care reaches an acceptable level. Typically thresholds are set to comply with reactive regulations.

• PI is the continuous study of processes improvement with a proactive intent to prevent or decrease the likelihood of problems by identifying areas of opportunity and testing new approaches to fix underlying causes of persistent/systemic problems.

they do maintain common factors: Planning, Leadership, Monitoring, Data Collection, Reporting, and Continuous Evaluation.  These activities can overwhelm and require more time from administration and staff.
