PACE QAPI Coordinator

20 - QAPI Program(Rev. 2, Issued: 06-09-11; Effective: 06-03-11;
Implementation: 06-03-11)
The PACE organization must develop, implement, maintain, and evaluate an effective data-driven QAPI program.

![Page 9: Quality Management - National PACE Association · 2019-12-18 · Quality Assessment- is an evaluation of a process to determine if a defined standard of quality is being achieved](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022050109/5f46eae446a5733b015f5a94/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
20.1 - QAPI Plan• (Rev. 2, Issued: 06-09-11; Effective: 06-03-11; Implementation: 06-03-
11)
• The PO must have a written QAPI plan. 42 CFR § 460.132(b) requires POs to have their QAPI plan reviewed annually by the PACE governing body and, if necessary, revised.
• At a minimum, the PACE organization’s QAPI plan must 1) identify areas in which to improve or maintain the delivery of services and patient care; 2) develop and implement plans of action to improve or maintain quality of care; and 3) document and disseminate the results of the QAPI activities to the PACE staff and contractors.
• As per 42 CFR § 460.132(a)(b), the PACE organization leadership presents their QAPI plan and any revisions to their governing body for annual approval to assure effective organizational oversight. CMS and the State Administering Agency approve the QAPI plan prior to its inclusion in the program agreement and also review the plan during subsequent monitoring visits.

20.3 - Internal QAPI Activities
PACE organizations must use a set of outcome measures to identify areas of good or problematic performance and take actions targeted at maintaining or improving care based on these outcome measures. CMS expects PACE organizations to use the most current clinical practice guidelines and professional standards in the development of outcome measures applicable to the care of PACE participants.

Quality Improvement
• Beyond “projects” to an integrated strategy.
– Quality and continual improvement need to be a formal part of every PACE organization
– Executive commitment to quality.
– Can not overlook the cultural/psychological issues of quality improvement.
• Medical Director can not do this alone.

Pressure Ulcer Reduction
Mission Statement: Reduce the percertange of participants, who acquire any
pressure ulcer after enrollment into the PACE program or a pressure ulcer that
is present upon enrollment worsens. This rate includes all pressure ulcers

SIPOC Diagram
The SIPOC tool is particularly useful when it is not clear:
• Who supplies inputs to the process?
• What specifications are placed on the inputs?
• Who are the true customers of the process?
• What are the requirements of the customers?

SIPOC Diagram
• identify all relevant elements of a process improvement project before work begins
• defines a complex project that may not be well scoped
• similar and related to process mapping or flowcharting but provides additional detail.

Pareto Chart
• How do I do it?
– Decide on problem to be analyzed.
– Brainstorm or collect data to select problems or causes to be analyzed.
– Choose unit of measurement and timeframe for the study.
– Collect data (real time or historical).
– Compare relative frequency of each problem or cause.
– Graph the frequencies with a cumulative % line to interpret the results.

Data Analysis - Control Charts
• Graphical representation of data over time.
• Time ordered plot of a set of data in it’s naturally occurring order with the median of the data drawn in as a reference line.
• Ignoring the time element implicit in every data set can lead to incorrect statistical conclusions.

Root Cause Analysis
• Fishbone Diagrams
• Show the causes of a certain event.
A Fishbone or Ishikawa diagram
can be useful to break down (in
successive layers of detail) root
causes that potentially contribute to
a particular effect.
