Qsource is working to complete a CMP-funded project in Tennessee.
Civil Monetary Penalties (CMP) are imposed by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) on nursing homes for failing to meet federal regulations. These funds are often allocated for specific purposes as outlined by regulatory frameworks. 90% of funds are then returned to the State to improve the quality of life and care.
Through CMP funding, Qsource can deliver services and innovative programs such as those shown below at no cost to your facility.
Quality Improvement Initiatives:
- Developing strategies and practices to improve the quality of care provided in nursing homes
- Star Rating improvement strategies and practices.
- Assessing and implementing strategies and best practices in long-term care settings.
Compliance Programs and Services:
- Developing and implementing systems that monitor and enforce compliance with care standards.
- Conducting Mock Surveys and survey preparedness to ensure ongoing adherence to regulations.
- Training and technical assistance to staff to ensure compliance with care standards.
The Qsource Long-term Care Division assists Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNFs) across the nation. We are dedicated professionals who provide support and guidance to facilities as they improve the quality of care for their residents. Our team has vast experience navigating long-term care including hospital systems compliance and quality improvement.
Our mission is to assist SNFs with promoting a culture of quality of care and life of their residents by utilizing best practice solutions, increase staff understanding and compliance with federal and state regulations, individualized management and facility QAPI projects to avoid civil monetary penalties, and encourage accountable performance utilizing systematic and individual analytic data.
Qsource recently completed a four-year CMP-funded project in Tennessee. During the project, 170 nursing homes participated in intensive regional quality improvement collaboratives focused on increasing resident safety and quality of life. All of the participating facilities completed a Performance Improvement Project (PIP) and improved outcome measures on their QAPI topic.
