What can you expect during your onsite survey?
The world of accreditation is in constant change, and as health information management professionals, we should always embrace change. New standards and survey procedures provide us with new goals, outlooks, ways to increase the quality of patient care, and opportunities to mentor the hospital staff including the medical staff and governing board. I encourage you to evaluate, amend, and build on the information contained within this article. Remember that talking to your peers about their experiences and working as though your survey is tomorrow is your best bet for superior survey results. Who knows, you could receive an unannounced survey.
