Quality & Clinical
Pre-Survey Inspections
Hospitals and clinics must meet an ever-increasing list of requirements in order to keep their doors open and serve their patient populations.
As they know all too well, a visit from CMS, DOH, DNV or The Joint Commission can result in a citation, fine, or even partial or total closure. Since this can lead to lost revenue and service interruption, it pays to assess your organization’s readiness for such a visit beforehand. Having experienced, knowledgeable experts perform a mock inspection of your facility before the real inspectors show up can help minimize the number of findings and limit the amount of work required to bring your organization into compliance.
