Evaluate your organization’s readiness plan
Accreditation Connection, February 29, 2008
Treat the completion of your unannounced survey as a performance improvement outcome and assess the strengths and weaknesses of your continuous survey readiness process. You may choose to do so in two separate sessions: one to address the rollout plan, and the other to address standards compliance. This is not an exercise to discuss perceptions of surveyor accuracy, RFI clarifications, or how to submit evidence of standards compliance; it is a retrospective review of your organization's methods of preparing for continuous standards compliance and readiness for an unannounced survey. Include the following people in your assessment of the rollout plan:
- The survey coordinator
- Designated staff members with assigned tasks
Include these people in your assessment of standards compliance:
- Chapter team leaders
- The survey coordinator
