With abaqis, nursing home professionals have unique advantages in survey preparedness:
- abaqis was developed by Nursing Home Quality, LLC, the same company that CMS turns to when it’s time to train state survey agencies nationwide on the use of QIS.
- The forms, analysis and thresholds used in abaqis are the same as those used by surveyors during a QIS survey.
- Rich reporting capabilities identify which care areas a facility should target for quality improvement.
