Are you iden fying opportuni es for improvement before they become problems? U lizing QAPI can help during surveys by showing the survey team that you do indeed take Quality Improvement seriously and may already be working on improving areas of concern. At the conclusion of this session, the par cipant should be able to: • Define QAPI culture change and the components involved • U lize available resources to determine opportuni es for improvement • Understand how Performance Improvement Projects (PIPS) and Plan‐Do‐Study‐Act processes help during surveys. Customer Service & Regulatory Compliance ‐ Two Ships Passing in the Night. Presented by Al Litwiller, MHA According to IDPH they received over 19,000 issues involving long term care last year and have inves gated over 5,000 of those is‐
sues. These are complaints from residents, families, employees and even facility self‐reports. Average bed occupancy con nues to de‐
cline in nursing facili es even though more people require long term care. IDPH surveyors say they write fewer viola ons when they like an administrator, DON or staff members. During this session we will explore how closely linked customer service and regulatory compli‐
ance has become. We will explore proven strategies for improving both customer service and regulatory compliance such as employee engagement, customer engagement, care plan implementa on and the power of words in health care. Continuing Education
