1 Show-Me Quality Games Recognizing your home s achievements in Show-Me Quality: QAPI in Action Copper Bronze Silver Gold 1
2 Show-Me Quality Games Program Primaris is pleased to offer an exciting new program to help you track your facility s improvement efforts as you prepare for the upcoming QAPI regulations. As a member of the Show-Me Quality: QAPI in Action collaborative, you get to decide how your facility makes improvement while gaining recognition for your progress. We will provide education and networking opportunities, and you get to decide what areas or topics in your home need improvement. The Show-Me Quality Games are a simple way for you to improve your resident care while you test the use of quailty improvement techniques needed for QAPI. Participating is simple. Here is what you do: 1. Attend Show-Me Quality Educational Offerings. 2. Select an improvement project and form a project team. 3. Fill out QAPI at a Glance: Self Assessment Tool Appendix A on page 8 or online and submit to Primaris. 4. Complete and share the Using PDSA in Preparation for QAPI worksheet on page 6 with Primaris by fax at (573) Submit second Using PDSA in Preparation for QAPI worksheet and share one story of success using the form on page 14.

4 Using PDSA for Quality Improvement PDSA=Plan, Do, Study, Act PDSA is a method widely used to successfully improve services. PDSA uses cycles to incrementally test ideas for change. It is also used to monitor a process or discover, assess and diagnose problems. Through PDSA, changes are implemented, evaluated, and spread. Initially, changes are tested on a small scale and if successful, they are spread throughout the organization. Project Selection What causes you the most trouble most often? What does your customer complain about most often? What Quality Measures are most challenging? What would help make the job easier, service faster, the process more efficient, greater productivity and the operation less costly? Can you measure the success? Organize the Team Who should be on the team? Do we have the right people? Are the necessary departments represented? 2. DO Implementing Corrective Action What method will be used to check progress? Who are the most important people to ensure successful implementation? What factors will determine whether they will do what is needed? What is the time, amount, and effectiveness of the feedback needed? 1. PLAN Clarify How will you know you have eliminated or improved the problem? What are existing measures you can use? Do you have a baseline measure of where you are right now? What will the outcome measure goal be? Understand the Problem What is not happening? What is not known? How is the customer affected? What are the known data and the symptoms? 3. STUDY Study the Results Can the results be verified? Who will collect the data and to whom will it be reported to maintain its effectiveness? What will ensure this new state is maintained and does not deteriorate over time? Who will audit the process to maintain its effectiveness? What would have made the implementation go easier? How can what was learned be used for something else? Formulate the Ideal State What would be the ideal condition? What are the elements of the ideal? What are the priorities of the elements? Derive a Solution Implement and Evaluate Have you analyzed all the significant symptoms? Formulate theories for the root causes. Prioritize the root cause solutions. Who will implement the corrective action? How will the corrective action be implemented? How will you overcome cultural resistance? What can be done to anticipate and eliminate potential roadblocks? What resources will be needed? What communications are required to minimize disruptions and garner support? 4. ACT Was the study successful? If yes, how will you implement the solution throughout the organization? If the study was unsuccessful, where was the breakdown? In the implementaiton phase? In the diagnosis of root causes? Are there other root causes? If yes, begin the PDSA cycle again. 4

10 Rate how closely each statement fits your organization Not started Just starting On our way Almost there Doing great QAPI is considered a priority in our organization. For example, there is a process for covering caregivers who are asked to spend time on improvement teams. QAPI is an integral component of new caregiver orientation and training. For example, new caregivers understand and can describe their role in identifying opportunities for improvement. Another example is that new caregivers expect that they will be active participants on improvement teams. Training is available to all caregivers on performance improvement strategies and tools. When conducting performance improvement projects, we make a small change and measure the effect of that change before implementing more broadly. An example of a small change is pilot testing and measuring with one nurse, one resident, on one day, or one unit, and then expanding the testing based on the results. When addressing performance improvement opportunities, our organization focuses on making changes to systems and processes rather than focusing on addressing individual behaviors. For example, we avoid assuming that education or training of an individual is the problem, instead, we focus on what was going on at the time that allowed a problem to occur and look for opportunities to change the process in order to minimize the chance of the problem recurring. QAPI SELF-ASSESSMENT TOOL Our organization has established a culture in which caregivers are held accountable for their performance, but not punished for errors and do not fear retaliation for reporting quality concerns. For example, we have a process in place to distinguish between unintentional errors and intentional reckless behavior and only the latter is addressed through disciplinary actions.

11 Rate how closely each statement fits your organization Not started Just starting On our way Almost there Doing great Leadership can clearly describe, to someone unfamiliar with the organization, our approach to QAPI and give accurate and up-to-date examples of how the facility is using QAPI to improve quality and safety of resident care. For example, the administrator can clearly describe the current performance improvement initiatives, or projects, and how the work is guided by caregivers involved in the topic as well as input from residents and families. Our organization has identified all of our sources of data and information relevant to our organization to use for QAPI. This includes data that reflects measures of clinical care; input from caregivers, residents, families, and stakeholders, and other data that reflects the services provided by our organization. For example, we have listed all available measures, indicators or sources of data and carefully selected those that are relevant to our organization that we will use for decision making. Likewise, we have excluded measures that are not currently relevant and that we are not actively using in our decision making process. For the relevant sources of data we identify, our organization sets targets or goals for desired performance, as well as thresholds for minimum performance. For example, our goal for resident ratings for recommending our facility to family and friends is 100% and our threshold is 85% (meaning we will revise the strategy we are using to reach our goal if we fall below this level). We have a system to effectively collect, analyze, and display our data to identify opportunities for our organization to make improvements. This includes comparing the results of the data to benchmarks or to our internal performance targets or goals. For example, performance improvement projects or initiatives are selected based on facility performance as compared to national benchmarks, identified best practice, or applicable clinical guidelines. QAPI SELF-ASSESSMENT TOOL Our organization has, or supports the development of, employees who have skill in analyzing and interpreting data to assess our performance and support our improvement initiatives. For example, our organization provides opportunities for training and education on data collection and measurement methodology to caregivers involved in QAPI.

12 Rate how closely each statement fits your organization Not started Just starting On our way Almost there Doing great From our identified opportunities for improvement, we have a systematic and objective way to prioritize the opportunities in order to determine what we will work on. This process takes into consideration input from multiple disciplines, residents and families. This process identifies problems that pose a high risk to residents or caregivers, is frequent in nature, or otherwise impact the safety and quality of life of the residents. When a performance improvement opportunity is identified as a priority, we have a process in place to charter a project. This charter describes the scope and objectives of the project so the team working on it has a clear understanding of what they are being asked to accomplish. For our Performance Improvement Projects, we have a process in place for documenting what we have done, including highlights, progress, and lessons learned. For example, we have project documentation templates that are consistently used and filed electronically in a standardized fashion for future reference. For every Performance Improvement Project, we use measurement to determine if changes to systems and process have been effective. We utilize both process measures and outcome measures to assess impact on resident care and quality of life. For example, if making a change, we measure whether the change has actually occurred and also whether it has had the desired impact on the residents. QAPI SELF-ASSESSMENT TOOL Our organization uses a structured process for identifying underlying causes of problems, such as Root Cause Analysis. Disclaimer: Use of this tool is not mandated by CMS for regulatory compliance nor does its completion ensure regulatory compliance.
13 Rate how closely each statement fits your organization Not started Just starting On our way Almost there Doing great When using Root Cause Analysis to investigate an event or problem, our organization identifies system and process breakdowns and avoids focus on individual performance. For example, if an error occurs, we focus on the process and look for what allowed the error to occur in order to prevent the same situation from happening with another caregiver and another resident. When systems and process breakdowns have been identified, we consistently link corrective actions with the system and process breakdown, rather than having our default action focus on training education, or asking caregivers to be more careful, or remember a step. We look for ways to assure that change can be sustained. For example, if a policy or procedure was not followed due to distraction or lack of caregivers, the corrective action focuses on eliminating distraction or making changes to staffing levels. When corrective actions have been identified, our organization puts both process and outcome measures in place in order to determine if the change is happening as expected and that the change has resulted in the desired impact to resident care. For example, when making a change to care practices around fall prevention there is a measure looking at whether the change is being carried out and a measure looking at the impact on fall rate. QAPI SELF-ASSESSMENT TOOL When an intervention has been put in place and determined to be successful, our organization measures whether the change has been sustained. For example, if a change is made to the process of medication administration, there is a plan to measure both whether the change is in place, and having the desired impact (this is commonly done at 6 or 12 months).
