QAPI is a comprehensive, data-driven program that CMS requires dialysis facilities to use in order to continuously improve patient safety and outcomes. It relies on collecting and reviewing facility health records and CMS-required documentation as part of its performance data, ensuring that real-world practices and outcomes are measured and analyzed. It is a regulated requirement from CMS, with the goal of maintaining and improving quality across all aspects of care. The core purpose is to provide safe care by driving improvement in outcomes through systematic, proven methods.
