Comparison of QA and QI
13
Quality Assurance (QA) Quality Improvement (QI)
Focus: Catch “bad apples” or detect serious problems
Improve processes—not fault finding
Goal: Meet minimal standards Ongoing process improvement
Who’s Involved:
Usually 1-2 individuals Teams
Driven By: Regulation/accreditation
Organizations
Occurs: Monthly or quarterly Continuously
![Page 14: Quality Assessment & Performance Improvement, Root Cause Analysis and the Model for Improvement Melody Malone, PT, CPHQ TMF Health Quality Institute](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649ebc5503460f94bc4e89/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
QA & A F520 A facility must maintain a quality assessment and
assurance committee consisting of:• The director of nursing services • A physician designated by the facility• At least three other members of the facility’s staff
The quality assessment and assurance (QA & A) committee:• Meets at least quarterly to identify issues with respect to
which QA & A activities are necessary• Develops and implements appropriate plans of action to
correct identified quality deficiencies 14
![Page 15: Quality Assessment & Performance Improvement, Root Cause Analysis and the Model for Improvement Melody Malone, PT, CPHQ TMF Health Quality Institute](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649ebc5503460f94bc4e89/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
QA & A F520, cont.
The state or the Secretary may not require disclosure of the records of such committee except insofar as such disclosure is related to the compliance of such committee with the requirements of this section.
Good faith attempts by the committee to identify and correct quality deficiencies will not be used as a basis for sanctions .

Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement
(QAPI)
![Page 17: Quality Assessment & Performance Improvement, Root Cause Analysis and the Model for Improvement Melody Malone, PT, CPHQ TMF Health Quality Institute](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649ebc5503460f94bc4e89/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
QAPI Background
17
Mandated in the Affordable Care Act, enacted March 2010
Legislation requires the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to establish QAPI program standards and provide technical assistance to nursing home providers.
CMS identified training needs for long-term care surveyors.
Demonstration projects are ongoing now and tools are coming.
![Page 18: Quality Assessment & Performance Improvement, Root Cause Analysis and the Model for Improvement Melody Malone, PT, CPHQ TMF Health Quality Institute](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649ebc5503460f94bc4e89/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
5 Elements of QAPI
• Element 1 – Design and scope Element 2 – Governance and leadership Element 3 – Feedback, data systems and
monitoring Element 4 – Performance improvement projects Element 5 – Systematic analysis and systemic
action
18
![Page 19: Quality Assessment & Performance Improvement, Root Cause Analysis and the Model for Improvement Melody Malone, PT, CPHQ TMF Health Quality Institute](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649ebc5503460f94bc4e89/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Element #1: Design and Scope A QAPI program must be:
• Ongoing and comprehensive • Dealing with the full range of
services offered by the facility • Including ALL departments
It utilizes the best available evidence to define and measure goals.
A written QAPI plan
Address:• Clinical care• Quality of life• Resident choice• Care transitions Aims for safety and high
quality with all clinical interventions
Emphasizes autonomy and choice in daily life for residents
19
![Page 20: Quality Assessment & Performance Improvement, Root Cause Analysis and the Model for Improvement Melody Malone, PT, CPHQ TMF Health Quality Institute](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649ebc5503460f94bc4e89/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Element #2: Governance and LeadershipThe governing body and/or
administration: Develops and leads a QAPI
program Involves leadership Uses input from facility staff,
residents and their families and/or representatives
Assures the QAPI program is adequately resourced
Designates one or more persons to be accountable for QAPI
Develops leadership and facility-wide training on QAPI
Ensures staff time, equipment and technical training as needed for QAPI
Responsible for establishing policies to sustain the QAPI program despite changes in personnel and turnover
20
![Page 21: Quality Assessment & Performance Improvement, Root Cause Analysis and the Model for Improvement Melody Malone, PT, CPHQ TMF Health Quality Institute](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649ebc5503460f94bc4e89/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Element #2: Governance and Leadership, cont.Also responsible for: Setting priorities for the QAPI
program Building on the principles identified
in design and scope Setting expectations around:
• Safety• Quality• Rights• Choice• Respect• Balancing both a culture of
safety and a culture of resident-centered rights and choice
The governing body ensures that while staff are held accountable, there exists an atmosphere in which staff are not punished for errors and do not fear retaliation for reporting quality concerns.
21
![Page 22: Quality Assessment & Performance Improvement, Root Cause Analysis and the Model for Improvement Melody Malone, PT, CPHQ TMF Health Quality Institute](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649ebc5503460f94bc4e89/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Element #3: Feedback, Data Systems and Monitoring Use systems to monitor care and services, drawing data from
multiple sources. Feedback systems actively incorporate input from staff,
residents, families and others as appropriate. Use performance indicators to monitor a wide range of care
processes and outcomes, and review findings against benchmarks and/or targets the facility has established for performance.
Use tracking, investigating and monitoring adverse events that must be investigated every time they occur, and action plans implemented to prevent recurrences.
22
![Page 23: Quality Assessment & Performance Improvement, Root Cause Analysis and the Model for Improvement Melody Malone, PT, CPHQ TMF Health Quality Institute](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649ebc5503460f94bc4e89/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Element #4: Performance Improvement Projects (PIPs) Conduct PIPs to examine and improve care or
services in areas identified as needing attention. A PIP is:
• A concentrated effort• On a particular problem in one area of the facility or
facility-wide• Involves gathering information systematically to clarify
issues or problems• Intervening for improvements• Selected in areas important and meaningful for the
specific type and scope of services unique to each facility23
![Page 24: Quality Assessment & Performance Improvement, Root Cause Analysis and the Model for Improvement Melody Malone, PT, CPHQ TMF Health Quality Institute](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649ebc5503460f94bc4e89/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Element #5: Systematic Analysis and Systemic Action
24
Use a systematic approach to determine when in-depth analysis is needed to fully understand the problem, its causes and implications of a change (a.k.a. root cause analysis).
Use a thorough and highly organized/structured approach to determine whether and how identified problems may be caused or exacerbated by the way care and services are organized/delivered.
Develop policies and procedures and demonstrate proficiency in the use of root cause analysis.
Systemic actions look comprehensively across all involved systems to prevent future events and promote sustained improvement.
This element includes a focus on continual learning and continuous improvement.

Human Errors in Medicine
“… and the adverse events that may follow, are problems of psychology and engineering, not of medicine.”
- J.W. Senders, PhD, Medical Researcher

![Page 30: Quality Assessment & Performance Improvement, Root Cause Analysis and the Model for Improvement Melody Malone, PT, CPHQ TMF Health Quality Institute](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649ebc5503460f94bc4e89/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Human Error – The Old View
The bad apple theory:
Complex systems would be fine if it weren’t for some unreliable people.
Human errors cause accidents.
Failures are surprises.
30
![Page 31: Quality Assessment & Performance Improvement, Root Cause Analysis and the Model for Improvement Melody Malone, PT, CPHQ TMF Health Quality Institute](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649ebc5503460f94bc4e89/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
What’s wrong with the old view?
Focusing on individuals does not solve underlying problems.
Errors are not intrinsically bad.
31
![Page 32: Quality Assessment & Performance Improvement, Root Cause Analysis and the Model for Improvement Melody Malone, PT, CPHQ TMF Health Quality Institute](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649ebc5503460f94bc4e89/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Human Error
Human error is not the cause of accidents, it is a symptom of deeper trouble.
Human error is not random.
Human error is not the conclusion of an investigation, it is the beginning.
32
![Page 33: Quality Assessment & Performance Improvement, Root Cause Analysis and the Model for Improvement Melody Malone, PT, CPHQ TMF Health Quality Institute](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649ebc5503460f94bc4e89/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
What is “Human Factors”?
“Human Factors” is about how features of our tools, tasks and work environments continually influence what we do and how we do it.
33
![Page 34: Quality Assessment & Performance Improvement, Root Cause Analysis and the Model for Improvement Melody Malone, PT, CPHQ TMF Health Quality Institute](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649ebc5503460f94bc4e89/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
In Other Words
Human Factors is about how the design of things impacts how well we do any task.
• Design of our workplace • Design of the tools we use• Design of processes (how we do our work)
34
![Page 35: Quality Assessment & Performance Improvement, Root Cause Analysis and the Model for Improvement Melody Malone, PT, CPHQ TMF Health Quality Institute](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649ebc5503460f94bc4e89/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)

What’s wrong with this picture???
![Page 36: Quality Assessment & Performance Improvement, Root Cause Analysis and the Model for Improvement Melody Malone, PT, CPHQ TMF Health Quality Institute](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649ebc5503460f94bc4e89/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Human Factors
How could this happen?
• Distracted sign maker
What could happen as a result?
• What were conditions and situation like when driving?
• What are characteristics of the task?
36
![Page 37: Quality Assessment & Performance Improvement, Root Cause Analysis and the Model for Improvement Melody Malone, PT, CPHQ TMF Health Quality Institute](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649ebc5503460f94bc4e89/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Combating Human Error with Better Designs
Where do we start?• Assume that people do reasonable things. • Look at why there is a performance gap.
37
![Page 38: Quality Assessment & Performance Improvement, Root Cause Analysis and the Model for Improvement Melody Malone, PT, CPHQ TMF Health Quality Institute](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649ebc5503460f94bc4e89/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
3 Categories of Performance Gaps
The plan itself was inadequate to achieve desired outcome (planning error).
The plan is not executed properly (execution error).
There was a deliberate departure from “safe” practice (violation).
38
![Page 39: Quality Assessment & Performance Improvement, Root Cause Analysis and the Model for Improvement Melody Malone, PT, CPHQ TMF Health Quality Institute](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649ebc5503460f94bc4e89/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Planning Errors
Driving to favorite gas station—run out of gas
Giving antibiotics to a patient with a viral infection
39
![Page 40: Quality Assessment & Performance Improvement, Root Cause Analysis and the Model for Improvement Melody Malone, PT, CPHQ TMF Health Quality Institute](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649ebc5503460f94bc4e89/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
When is it a planning error?
Don’t know what to do
Don’t know how to do it
Don’t know who is supposed to do it
“I couldn't do it”
“I used to do it differently”
40
![Page 41: Quality Assessment & Performance Improvement, Root Cause Analysis and the Model for Improvement Melody Malone, PT, CPHQ TMF Health Quality Institute](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649ebc5503460f94bc4e89/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)

Steps look alike
“It slipped my mind”
Just “messed up”

Quality PrinciplesSystems Thinking Cyclical─not linear (cause/effect) System is dynamic in achieving goals Looks at a system in total, as sum of its
parts, all working together Encourages communication and
speaking up to break down silos Depends on feedback to maintain
stability System at fault versus individual
employee Promotes understanding of the patterns
of behaviors that lead to outcomes, positive and negative
Principles of QAPI Just culture Ongoing, continuous 5 elements that are interrelated Learning organization; sustaining
improvements Culture where staff do not fear
reporting quality concerns Feedback, data systems and
monitoring An approach to QI where the
culture is to make continuous improvement. “It’s just what we do.”
Feedback, data systems and monitoring 59

Brainstorming Rules
Postpone and withhold your judgment of ideas.
Encourage wild and exaggerated ideas. Quantity counts at this stage, not quality. Build on the ideas put forward by others. Every person and every idea has equal
worth.
