Failure to Develop and Present Comprehensive QAPI Plan
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to develop and present a comprehensive QAPI (Quality Assurance Performance Improvement) plan as required. During the survey, the administrator provided a QAPI Policy document dated January 2024, stating it was the facility's QAPI plan. However, upon review, the document did not detail how the QAPI committee would identify and correct quality deficiencies, nor did it reflect specific aspects unique to the facility's population and programs. The policy also lacked information on tracking and measuring performance, establishing goals and thresholds, analyzing root causes of quality concerns, and monitoring or evaluating the effectiveness of corrective actions. This deficiency applied to all 37 residents in the facility at the time of the survey.
