a new nursing home survey process that is currently being rolled out across the country.
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.
