Presentation Info: TAHC&H Event | Winter Conference | Rich-Media Presentation Capture | Online On-Demand Access Presentation Date: February 19, 2026 Program Description: Veterans Affairs (VA) home care remains a critical but complex revenue stream for home care providers. As contracting structures evolve and reimbursement dynamics shift, providers are facing increased operational strain, payment delays, and uncertainty around future program requirements.

[3626] No Client Left Behind: Taking QAPI Seriously in PAS
Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement (QAPI) is often treated as a chore...but it's so much more than that!
Presentation Info:
TAHC&H Winter Conference 2022 | Dallas | Recorded for On-Demand Access
Presentation Date | February 24, 2022
Program Description: Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement (QAPI) is often treated as a chore we have to
"check off the list" to remain in compliance with regulations. But it's so much more than that. There's a reason that every successful organization in the world
uses some version of QAPI as a measuring tool to continue to evolve and adapt in an ever-changing environment. Just because you don't bill medical insurance,
doesn't mean that QAPI is less important than it is for home health and hospice. Private Duty agencies have a different, and in some ways deeper obligation
to their clientele than medical providers. You're in their homes for extended periods of time, and become involved in many areas of their lives, including
their general wellbeing. With this in mind, you'll learn how analyzing QA information and applying improved performance measures to the whole spectrum of
service will not only enhance the quality of care you provide, but foster loyalty amongst your clients and employees.
