What is the purpose of the QA committee?

Quality assurance committees focus on ensuring high-quality care and addressing the needs of residents and the facility. They review care practices, safety, and resident feedback, track quality indicators, and recommend changes to improve outcomes. That makes addressing facility and resident needs the best match. The other tasks—scheduling staff shifts, payroll, and pest control—are day-to-day administrative or facilities duties, not the QA committee’s primary role in quality improvement.
