Performance Improvement Projects (PIPs) are an integral part of QAPI. The CMS regulations in 2008 greatly increased the emphasis for quality improvement/performance improvement activities, with not only a Condition of Participation, but 15 standards as well. So, now that you have collected the data, how do you decide what to do with it? What issues are important to address in a PIP and what do you want to accomplish? What was the outcome of the PIP – did you meet the goal(s) and did the performance improve? In this session, faculty will address these and other questions as well as explore case examples to illustrate the process for conducting and evaluating the PIP.
Learning Objectives:
1. Discuss how to use your quality data
2. Describe the issues that are important to address in a PIP
3. Identify case examples that illustrate the process for conducting and evaluating a PIP
