Quality Assessment and Performance Improvement (QAPI) program
Quality Assessment and Performance Improvement (QAPI) program
The goal of quality management is to promote members’ health status or maintain it when their condition isn’t likely to improve.
Our process, which involves quality assessment and performance improvement activities, enables us to:
- Review current practices in both clinical and non-clinical areas.
- Find opportunities for improvement.
- Choose the most effective interventions.
- Evaluate and measure the success of current interventions and refine them as needed.
We develop QAPI objectives each year and outline them in our annual QAPI Program Description. This documents the scope, structure and function of the QAPI program. We also evaluate our success in achieving our annual QAPI goals each year and document the results in our Quality Assessment and Improvement Program Evaluation.
Need a copy of our QAPI Program Description or Quality Assessment and Improvement Program Evaluation?
These will be updated throughout the year. Just call Provider Relations at 1-833-711-0773 (TTY: 711). We’re here for you Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. ET.
