QAPI: Turning Compliance into Continuous Improvement
At SharelyCare.ai, we believe compliance should not be about scrambling during survey week. It should be a continuous process of improvement that keeps your teams prepared, your residents safer, and your operation running smoothly. That is the foundation of QAPI: Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement.
QAPI is more than a program. It’s a mindset. Done right, it turns citations and risk areas into opportunities for growth. SharelyCare.ai helps long-term care (LTC) teams bring that mindset to life with automated tools that drive prevention and structure corrective action when needed.
Problems Faced by LTC Facilities
- QAPI Projects Lack Direction or Measurable Outcomes
Quality improvement programs often exist only on paper. Without data-driven direction, QAPI efforts can stall or feel disconnected from actual risks and citations. - Prevention Planning Happens Too Late
Facilities may not see trouble coming. Without a structured process for detecting trends or planning audits, teams remain reactive instead of proactive. - Plans of Correction Without Follow-Through
When citations occur, facilities often scramble to respond. POCs are written quickly, but without clear ownership or tracking, tasks are forgotten, and compliance is not sustained.
