Free Home Health QAPI Resources & Courses from HHQI

Proposed revisions to CMS’ Home Health Conditions of Participation (CoPs) are on the horizon, and one thing is certain: a Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement (QAPI) program requirement will be part of them. The Home Health Quality Improvement National Campaign offers free resources and online courses to help with the development of their QAPI plans. The series and tools are created from the draft Conditions of Participation (CoPs).

The foundational QAPI 101 course provides education on the five (5) QAPI Standards. Three subsequent courses focus on topic-specific Performance Improvement Projects (PIPs) that are top priorities in home health: Hospitalizations, Medication Management, and Cardiovascular Health. Each course includes free tools and 1.5 hours of nursing continuing education credit approved by the Alabama State Nurses Association, an accredited approver of the American Nurses Credentialing Center's Commission on Accreditation.
