MDT Home Health Care Agency, Inc. THE KEY TO QUALITY ASSURANCE What is Quality Assurance? We have all heard the term "the watchword of the health care industry". But, do we really know what it is? The best way to measure quality is not how well or how often medical care is provided, but how successful we are in achieving the fundamental objectives of prolonging life, relieving distress, restoring function and preventing disability. Who is responsible for Quality Assurance (QAPI)? Each one of us, individually, has an obligation to serve the patient, whether we are directly or indirectly involved in providing a health care activity. We are all responsible for providing quality health care, and that is the KEY to Quality Assurance. If you think "quality" in relation to your job function, the end result is "Quality Assurance".
