Program Description

This online seminar will discuss the new interpretative guidelines for QAPI that were published in March 2023, the QAPI program conditions of participation for critical access hospitals that were effective March 30, 2021, and the changes made to the conditions of participation for general acute hospitals that went into effect Nov. 29, 2019.
