Prioritizing Performance Improvement Projects (PIPs)

In today’s complex long-term care environment, leaders often ask: How many Performance Improvement Projects (PIPs) do we need? Which ones do we prioritize? And how do we implement them effectively? PIPs are one of the most powerful tools in the QAPI framework, yet they are also among the most misunderstood.

PIPs aim to improve care delivery and enhance residents' quality of life. However, many leaders find themselves overwhelmed by the number of potential improvement opportunities. Attempting to do everything at once leads to burnout and ineffective outcomes. Instead, leaders must intentionally prioritize.
