Summary
The facility failed to provide mandatory Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement (QAPI) training to all direct care staff, as evidenced by record reviews and staff interviews. Personnel records for five Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) with varying hire dates showed no documentation of QAPI training since their employment began. The CNA Supervisor, responsible for new hire orientation, confirmed that QAPI training was not included in orientation or in-service education. The Director of Nursing also verified that these staff members had not received QAPI training.
