Are your Quality Measures (QMs) still struggling to fit into your facility’s quality of care clothes? Are they out of shape, flabby, or reflect low performance even when you think staff are trying? Well, there’s good news! Just like working out to build muscle, the director of nursing services (DNS) and nurse assessment coordinators (NACs) can work on systems to get QMs back into shape. During this 75-minute webinar, AAPACN Sr. Curriculum Development Specialist, Jessie McGill, RN, BSN, RAC-MT, RAC-MTA, and AAPACN Director of Certification and Education, Denise Winzeler, RN, BSN, LNHA, DNS-MT, QCP-MT, will layout a QM fitness routine for NACs and DNSs to work together to ensure QMs accurately reflect the quality of care and outcomes a facility provides. Discover how to make meaningful changes to clinical systems when quality improvement is needed.

After participating in this webinar, learners will be able to:

  • Recognize how clinical documentation and MDS accuracy impact QM outcomes
  • Utilize root cause analysis to identify the problem within clinical systems that needs to be changed to improve quality outcomes
  • Implement a NAC and DNS team effort to collaborate in quality improvement efforts
