Program Description
This webinar is a must for all hospitals. This webinar will discuss the new interpretative guidelines for QAPI that were published in March, 2023 as well discuss the QAPI program conditions of participation for critical access hospitals, which went into effect March 30, 2021, and the changes made to the conditions of participation for general acute hospitals that went into effect Nov. 29, 2019.
