Preparing for survey can be a daunting task. It is best to approach this proactively by reviewing past surveys, conducting chart audits, comparing facility operations to the Long-Term Care Survey Guide, ensuring Policies & Procedures are in place, conducting staff education as to these Policies & Procedures and creating a system of internal compliance with federal and state regulations. Clinical Resource Services can assist with all of these items.
