CMS Letter: Rollout of QAPI Materials for Nursing Homes (June 7, 2013)

In a June 7, 2013 letter (Ref: S&C: 13-37-NH) to State Survey Agency Directors, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) announced the rollout of Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement Materials for Nursing Homes (QAPI), a much anticipated announcement.

The following materials will be available on the QAPI website for nursing homes to use as resources:

  • QAPI at a Glance
  • QAPI Tools
  • QAPI News Brief
  • Video: “Nursing Home QAPI – What’s in it for You?”

Additionally, the results of the Nursing Home Quality Improvement Questionnaire that was sent out in 2012 will be posted on their website sometime this summer. A firm date has not been provided.
