OVERVIEW

Survey readiness is an important piece of life inside a small rural hospital. Poor surveys can result in extra work and inefficient use of use of personnel who already are in short supply. Savvy health care providers are adopting practices that ensure they always are ready for a survey. Having those practices in place enables surveyors to conduct surveys without disrupting operations or unnecessarily impacting resources.  

During Part 1 of this Webinar series, participants learn practical approaches directed at continuous survey readiness. Originally recorded on March 30, 2010, this session addresses the importance of building systems to continuously be in control of your environment so survey readiness is a natural by-product of the hospital’s quality efforts.
