Quality Assurance Performance Improvement (QAPI)

Quality Assurance Performance Improvement (QAPI) is a systematic approach used primarily in healthcare settings to enhance the quality of services and patient care. It combines two key components: "Quality Assurance," which focuses on maintaining standards and preventing problems, and "Performance Improvement," which aims to identify and address issues to enhance outcomes. QAPI involves continuous monitoring, data analysis, and strategic changes to ensure ongoing improvement. By engaging staff and using their insights, QAPI fosters a culture of excellence that ultimately benefits patients and enhances overall organizational performance.
