Post-Acute Care Survey Survival Guide: Will You Be Ready When Surveyors Come Calling?

When surveyors arrive, it’s vital to efficiently provide them with the information they need to review your organization. However, we often hear that many post-acute facilities can’t do that. The auditing process can be overwhelming when you don’t effectively store training records, don’t have the necessary documentation to support your claims, or are unprepared for new regulations. But with the proper protocols and systems in place, your post-acute care facilities can ease the burden of the survey and use these evaluations as a chance to grow.

These visits are not predictable but guaranteed, so your goal is to be prepared for this inevitable situation. In this guide, we investigate how making survey readiness an everyday practice and putting the correct protocols in place can turn surveys into a smooth process that leads to better outcomes for staff and patients.

Whether your organization focuses on skilled nursing, assisted living, home-based care, hospice, or a combination, the strategies in this survival guide give you the tools to be prepared for a survey.
