Inside the SNF Quality Newsroom: Fact-Checking Measures, Trends, and Outcomes
How to turn quality data into clearer communication and better outcomes.
Wed · Jun 17 · 1PM CT (2PM ET)
Quality measures tell a story. The challenge is making sure your team understands what the data is saying, what needs to be verified, and what to do next.
In this follow-up to Manuals, Measures & Mayhem, Megan Ussery returns with a practical, newsroom-inspired approach to SNF quality management. You’ll learn how to use QM/QAPI meetings as focused “quality briefings” where the right people review performance, validate information, clarify responsibilities, and identify issues before they affect Five-Star, public reporting, QIPP, reimbursement, surveys, or resident outcomes.
This session will help SNF teams move beyond reviewing reports and start having better quality conversations that lead to clearer action.
What you'll learn:
- How to use your QM/QAPI meeting as a focused “quality briefing” to review performance, validate information, and assess readiness for key quality programs.
- Which IDT members should be involved to bring frontline insight, strengthen documentation, and support accurate quality reporting.
- How clearer team roles and responsibilities can improve accountability, quality measure capture, and outcomes.
