Issues surrounding the PPR
Part 2 of 3
Once an organization has determined the limited number of priority standards in which to focus on for the year, the developed MOS should be realistic and attainable. It must be kept in mind that the MOS, and the compliance to the MOS, can be used by the surveyor during the next triennial survey. The surveyors will use this information to determine whether the organization is truly working towards compliance or whether the PPR was just submitted simply for paper compliance.
The PPR should be thought of as a process to stay current in standard compliance and not a burden that must be completed annually with little to no benefit to the organization.
Each new standard should be reviewed to determine whether the organization is currently in compliance. If they are not, evaluate the process that is currently in practice to see whether it needs to be altered or can be utilized as is to demonstrate compliance.
