Summary
The facility failed to provide mandatory training on the Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement (QAPI) program to one of five staff members, specifically a nurse aide. According to the facility's Staff Development Training Program policy, all employees are required to attend training on QAPI upon hire and at least annually. Review of the nurse aide's personnel file showed no documentation of QAPI training within the required annual period. This deficiency was confirmed by the Registered Nurse Educator during an interview, who acknowledged that the required QAPI training had not been provided to the staff member as stipulated by facility policy.
