Run Every Committee Meeting on Cadence—With Minutes, QAPI Data, and Action Plans in One Place
CareAscendium gives skilled nursing facilities a complete committee and meeting lifecycle—from recurring scheduling and agenda templates through attendance, AI-assisted minutes, QAPI data capture, and survey-ready reports—on web and mobile.
The Challenge with Word Docs and Sign-In Sheets
In most SNFs, QAPI and other committee meetings are managed with recycled agendas, hand-written sign-in sheets, and minutes saved to someone's laptop. Proving that the right people met on cadence—and acted on what they decided—becomes a scramble when surveyors arrive.
Committee minutes scattered across Word docs, email, and personal drives
QAPI committee meetings that are hard to prove happened on cadence during survey
Manual agenda building and re-typing the same recurring items every month
No clear link between meeting decisions and the action plans that follow
Attendance, quorum, and follow-through tracked on paper sign-in sheets
Hours lost compiling meeting minutes and QAPI evidence for leadership and surveyors
“A committee meeting that isn't documented—on cadence, with follow-up—is a meeting that didn't happen as far as the survey is concerned.”
One Workflow. From Agenda to Accountability.
CareAscendium Committee & Meeting Management connects committee setup, recurring scheduling, the live meeting, decisions and QAPI data, and follow-up action plans in a single auditable record—replacing disconnected documents with one source of truth.
Set Up Committee: Define purpose, members, roles, and meeting frequency
Schedule: Auto-generate recurring meetings or create ad-hoc/special meetings
Run Meeting: Work the agenda live with the guided Note Taker
Capture & Decide: Record minutes, attendance, QAPI data, and decisions
Conclude & Report: Generate summaries/PDFs and link action plans for follow-up
Key Capabilities
Committee Setup & Membership
Create standing or ad-hoc committees with a defined purpose, type, and category. Assign members with roles—Chair, Secretary, Facilitator, Recorder—set a default meeting location, and manage everything per facility.
Modernized Recurring Scheduling
Configure meeting frequency once—weekly, monthly, quarterly, or by day/week of month—and let CareAscendium auto-generate the next meeting. Ad-hoc and special meetings are supported when something can't wait.
Reusable Agenda Templates
Build standardized agenda templates with sections, items, and sub-items so every meeting starts consistent. New meetings pre-populate the agenda seamlessly—no retyping recurring standing items.
Digital Attendance Tracking
Record present and absent members with names captured directly from your committee roster. Maintain a clean, exportable attendance record for quorum and compliance—no paper sign-in sheets.
Guided Note Taker & Minutes
Walk agenda item by agenda item with the in-meeting Note Taker. Capture discussion, decisions, and minutes—with voice-to-text input—then sync everything into a clean, structured minutes record.
AI Meeting Summaries
Generate a concise AI summary from the meeting's agenda, notes, and decisions. Review and edit, then save it to the meeting record or email it to attendees and stakeholders in a click.
QAPI Data Capture & Trends
Enter QAPI metric data inside the meeting, link QAPI forms, and view data trends over time. Connect quality measures and F-tag evidence directly to the committee that reviews them.
Action Plans & PIP / PDSA Links
Turn decisions into accountability. Create action items, link Performance Improvement Plans and PDSA cycles, assign owners and due dates, and review progress at the next meeting.
Calendar Invites & Notifications
Send calendar (.ics) invites to members and external recipients, and keep everyone aligned with instant email, SMS, and push notifications plus targeted nudges for follow-up items.
Survey-Ready PDF Reports
Generate professional meeting minutes and committee reports as PDFs—attendance roster, full agenda, discussion notes, decisions, action items, and next meeting—configurable by section.
Documents & Meeting History
Attach presentations, reports, and supporting files to any meeting, and keep a complete searchable meeting-minutes history with a communication log—ready when leadership or surveyors ask.
Mobile Access
View, create, and edit meetings from the CareAscendium mobile app. Browse upcoming and past meetings, review attendance, minutes, action plans, and documents across six dedicated tabs.
