Successful long-term care leaders need a good understanding of how the publicly reported Five-Star quality measures impacts operations and using this data to identify opportunities for improvement. During this session you will learn more on what the data reveals about your organization, turning this information to identify priority needs for improvement, and “the how” to leading teams on the Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement (QAPI) journey.

• Identify how quality measures impact nursing home operations.
• Develop strategies for quality assurance monitors to improve quality measure performance.
• Prioritize quality measures for performance improvement based on nursing home impact.
