Mock Surveys and Facility Quality Assurance Surveys and Staff Training

If you are an owner or administrator of intermediate care facilities, you are aware how challenging, costly and stressful a state survey can be. What surprises will  that surveyor find in your facility when they knock on the facility door at 6 am in the morning. Avoid the fines, citations and the personnel turnover. We conduct mock surveys based upon the same protocol and guidelines as surveyors using Appendix J and state regulations. We do a complete and thorough audit of all client records including Q documentation, RN and allied staff assessments and reports. We observe staff for active treatment, meal service, client privacy and facility practices. We visit day programs and schools and we audit all personnel records, fire and disaster drills and incident reports. During the exit interview we provide a plan of correction and  offer staff training if indicated. All mock surveys are done by experienced QIDP’S  and RN’s.
