Ad Hoc QAPI Meetings: Strategies for Rapid Improvement and Regulatory Success

In today’s post-acute and long-term care environment, leaders are constantly balancing daily operations with the ongoing need to improve quality outcomes. QAPI (Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement) goes beyond a regulatory requirement. It is a culture, a framework for continuous learning, and a core leadership responsibility.

While quarterly QAPI meetings are required in skilled nursing, and monthly meetings are often best practice, there are times when leaders must move beyond the regular schedule and host Ad Hoc QAPI meetings. These huddles are essential tools for addressing urgent issues, demonstrating accountability, and improving processes in real time.

In our latest PATHTalks episode, Pathway Health’s COO, Lisa Thomson, connects with Nurse Consultant, Calvin Reynek, to learn more about Ad Hoc QAPI meetings and their impact on process improvements, as well as leadership strategies to support regulatory success. Tune in!
