Preparation Services
Now that surveys by The Joint Commission (TJC) and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) are unannounced, preparation is even more critical. It is no longer sufficient to refocus staff’s attention in the weeks and months immediately before survey. Compass Clinical Consulting works with your organization to craft ongoing readiness activities with a focus on:
- Mitigating deficiencies prior to survey
- Refocusing staff attention and arming managers with a response plan to launch when surveyors arrive
- Coaching and mentoring staff and managers on survey activities
- Educating boards and executives on the latest trends in accreditation scores and their implications
To keep your hospital continuously prepared, Compass Clinical Consulting provides:
- Tracer Methodology Mock Surveys. Allow staff to respond in mock survey conditions while identifying opportunities for targeted improvement.
- PPR Preparation or Validation. Use expert resources to complete your Periodic Performance Review (PPR) or to validate one prepared internally.
- Continuous Readiness Packages. Control costs over time and combine prevention and preparation resources in a convenient package customized to your organization.
- CMS/Department of Health Mock Surveys. Introduce staff to the intense scrutiny of state surveyors in a safe setting that prepares the organization for a routine unannounced survey.
