You know the importance of survey preparation — and the deficiencies, fines, and negative publicity that can come with poor results. You also know that year-round survey readiness leads to deficiency-free surveys.
Introducing the best survey preparation tool available
The only sure-fire way to prepare for your unannounced state survey is to put your facility through the paces of a realistic mock survey. That's why HCPro is proud to present The Long-Term Care Mock Survey Toolkit: A Step-by-Step Guide to Survey Readiness, a first-of-its-kind resource that takes your facility through every step of a state survey.
A mock survey made simple
With this comprehensive manual and CD-ROM, you get everything you need to conduct your own survey, including self assessment tools, troubleshooting tips, and information about what surveyors will look for. You'll even receive the same CMS tools surveyors will use to evaluate your facility.
Written by Rhonda DePaul, who has performed countless mock surveys for facilities just like yours, this comprehensive toolkit puts the expertise of a long-term care consultant in one convenient package.
You can never be too prepared
When you use The Long-Term Care Mock Survey Toolkit to conduct a facility-wide mock survey, you'll engage all members of your staff in survey preparation. A trial-run not only helps calm nerves, but it helps your staff better understand the long term care survey regulations and interpretive guidelines. When your team knows what to expect on survey day, they will face the survey process with confidence.
Practice makes perfect
Use The Long-Term Care Mock Survey Toolkit again and again to test and retest your facility. With continuous assessment, you can be confident your facility is survey-ready and deficiency-free all year round.
Don't wait until survey time to discover your trouble spots
The sooner you recognize areas that need improvement, the sooner you can address these potential deficiencies and increase your chances of a deficiency-free survey. An incredible value at just $149, The Long-Term Care Mock Survey Toolkit gives you all the self-assessment tools, troubleshooting tips, and "inside" surveyor information you need to identify — and rectify — problem areas long before surveyors come knocking.
