Background: Preparing for a regulatory survey is essential in long term care and complying with these regulations is critical for the success an organization. Over the past several weeks, we have learned a tremendous amount of information on different departments as well as various administrative areas. Now, we will apply your knowledge to creating a proactive plan that assists your team in being prepared should regulatory bodies arrive to conduct a survey or inspection. While we do not have the time to implement and discuss a full mock survey, we will have the time for you to work on a few of the processes for a survey readiness plan.
