QAPI STARR Program
What is QAPI STARR?
The STARR program is designed to advance training of staff to improve retention and resiliency. The QAPI STARR Ladder program offers education and training to SNF leaders to prepare them to guide QAPI practices throughout the facility, including facilitation of staff training. ECRI will collaborate with leaders on-site to discuss implementation of QAPI best practices and strategies to improve QAPI programs within their organization. The IPC STARR Ladder program aims to improve staff knowledge and application of QAPI practices to enhance delivery of resident-centered care.
