Are rural health clinics required to complete a specific number of quality assessment and performance improvement projects to fulfill their QAPI requirement?
No. Section 491.11 provides Rural Health Clinics with the flexibility to tailor the amount and flexibility of individual performance improvement projects to the clinic’s available resources. It is not expected that small RHCs will have a quality improvement program that is as comprehensive as an RHC that is part of a large integrated system. However, all RHCs must have a QAPI program.
