PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Hospitals and health systems must always 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. These surveys can occur for several reasons, including:

• Abuse
• Complaint
• EMTALA
• Other self-reported event investigations
• Recertification
• Validation of deemed status of critical access hospitals

Proper preparation can help hospitals avoid and minimize adverse findings discovered during a government or accrediting organization survey. This webinar will help hospitals prepare and manage these unannounced surveys.
