The types of problems that may lead to increased quality assurance efforts include client complaints,injury,or death,poor documentation of care,with subsequent denials of reimbursement by third-party payers,lack of or inefficient service,and concerns about client or staff safety.Several factors may influence increased costs of providing care,which may or may not lead to it being a priority of increased quality assurance efforts.An increase in incidence reports,not a decrease,would lead to increased quality assurance efforts.Reduced government reimbursement may lead the agency to consider multiple aspects of care,which may or may not relate a need for increased quality assurance efforts.
