Description

As the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services advances enhanced Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement (QAPI) expectations for 2026, healthcare organizations must strengthen their compliance systems and quality oversight processes. Updated CMS survey focus and enforcement trends signal heightened scrutiny of QAPI program effectiveness, documentation accuracy, and measurable performance outcomes.

This webinar provides a practical roadmap for designing and implementing a compliant, data-driven QAPI framework aligned with 2026 CMS requirements. Participants will gain actionable strategies to reduce regulatory deficiencies, improve internal audit readiness, and elevate care quality across their organization.

Learning Objectives

After attending this webinar, participants will be able to:

• Design a comprehensive QAPI framework aligned with 2026 CMS requirements

Why Should You Attend

CMS survey scrutiny is increasing, and ineffective QAPI systems remain a leading cause of regulatory deficiencies. The 2026 CMS updates require healthcare organizations to demonstrate measurable quality improvement outcomes—not simply written policies.

This webinar features expert instruction from Michael C. Redmond, a recognized authority in regulatory compliance and quality systems. Attendees will gain practical, real-world strategies to strengthen survey preparedness, reduce citation risk, and transform QAPI into a strategic operational advantage.

Organizations that proactively refine their QAPI systems will be better positioned to maintain compliance, improve care quality, and protect their reputation.
