Do you know what your organization’s compliance issues are? Knowing your organization inside and out means that when a survey occurs, there are no surprises. Survey Success provides not only multiple mock tracers, but also the analysis, tools, and checklists you need to ensure your facility and staff are ready before the surveyors walk through the door. Are you currently following these general tips? - Have your documents ready: Have all the necessary documents at hand—otherwise, you risk an automatic citation. Documentation will be considered “not done” if the surveyors don’t see it on time, even if you send it after the survey.
- Listen during the daily briefing: Pay attention to the issues that surveyors raise during the briefing to identify possible recommendations. If there are any survey findings you believe are incorrect, be sure to challenge them while the surveyors are still on-site.
- Comply with CMS’ Conditions of Participation (CoP): Intense focus on the CoPs has become standard throughout surveys, so be sure your facility is up to speed on what the requirements entail. For hospitals that use Joint Commission accreditation for deemed status, CoP compliance is crucial.
