QASA meetings can be long and ineffective. How do you set up your meetings to be effective and hold the interest of your committee? Do you do ad hoc meetings in between your QASA meetings? In the third of our three-part webinar series, we will explore both types of meetings and describe when they should be used and how to make them valuable to your organization.
Learning Objectives:
Identify three items that should be on the QAPI agenda each meeting
Discuss the circumstances in which an ADHOC meeting would be held
List the mandated members of the QA&A committee
This program is pending approval for 1 participant hour of nursing continuing education, as well as by
NAB/NCERS for nursing home administrators.
