Tips to Start a DME Business! To succeed, a strategic partner focused on positive patient outcomes is always a good ally. QPI Healthcare Services works with you shoulder-to-shoulder to co-create a customized solution. Think of us as your all-in-one resource for healthcare compliance.
Here’s why:
Human Resources. QPI is here to help coordinate new hire documentation; maintain existing employee documentation, including quarterly background (OIG) checks and annual evaluations; and assist with education and training both at the time of hire and annually. Remember, your accreditor requires that employees be trained and educated in topics such as HIPAA, Bloodborne Pathogens, Cultural Diversity, OSHA, Infection Control, and Emergency Preparedness. QPI ensures these trainings are documented, up to date, and easily accessible during audits or surveys. We also support role-specific competency assessments and employee file compliance so your organization meets both state and accreditation standards without stress.
Administration. QPI communicates with your accreditor both pre- and post-accreditation, and with Medicare in the event of a random pop-up site inspection. Should anything be asked of you, we are here to assist with Corrective Action Plans, Development Requests, and documentation follow-up. Medicare and accreditation standards require you to maintain a wide range of operational documents including Articles of Incorporation, Surety Bonds, General and Professional Liability Insurance, and more.
We coordinate renewals and verifications to ensure there are no lapses in coverage that could delay reimbursements or jeopardize payer relationships. But administration extends beyond the basics. QPI also helps you apply for and establish relationships with additional commercial payors, state Medicaid programs, and Managed Care Organizations. We manage initial and ongoing credentialing processes to keep your practice active and billable across multiple payer platforms—reducing the risk of denials and increasing revenue reliability.
Risk Management. A major part of ongoing mandatory accreditation requirements is that you assess, reassess, and evaluate your own performance regularly.
QPI is here to help coordinate essential data collection such as Patient Experience Surveys, Complaint Logs, Emergency Preparedness Drills, and Incident Tracking. We also support required internal assessments including HIPAA compliance reviews, Fraud, Waste, and Abuse training validation, Anti-Kickback reviews, and cybersecurity awareness. These activities not only help you stay in compliance but also strengthen your organizational effectiveness. Remember, documentation of ongoing data collection and internal assessments will be thoroughly reviewed during your triennial accreditation recertification survey. QPI ensures you are prepared, organized, and survey-ready year-round.
Patient Experience. If you are not collecting Patient Surveys on your own, QPI offers to conduct and manage Patient Experience Surveys on your behalf. Your accreditor and Medicare will ask how your patients perceive the quality of care and services you provide. You are required to actively solicit feedback from your patients—this is the only form of solicitation that is both encouraged and required by regulatory bodies. Gathering this feedback not only helps you remain compliant but also reveals valuable insights into service gaps and improvement opportunities.
Ultimately, satisfied patients strengthen your standing with Medicare and other payors. If your patients are unsatisfied, what actions are you taking to correct the issue and improve outcomes? QPI helps analyze feedback, track trends, and implement service improvements to support long-term success.
