Program Description
Hospitals and health systems must be prepared from top to bottom for a survey by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the state survey agency, The Joint Commission or Det Norske Veritas at any day or time. These surveys can occur for several reasons, including recertification surveys, validation surveys of deemed status or critical access hospitals, or complaint, abuse, EMTALA or other self-reported event investigations. Proper preparation can help hospitals avoid and minimize adverse findings discovered during a governmental or accrediting organization survey. This webinar will help hospitals prepare and manage these unannounced surveys.
Program Objectives
- Describe what the hospital should do when notified that a surveyor is at the door.
- Discuss how to prepare front-line staff for surveyor questions and observations.
