Nurses in the long term care setting need to understand the survey procedures and requirements for the facilities in which they work. Knowledge of what the federal surveyors will be looking for when they annually survey the facility will enable the nurse to participate in the survey process in a way that enhances the quality of care given in the facility.
What you will learn:
Each learner will name the differences among the two types of standard surveys, the Extended Survey, an abbreviated Standard Survey and a Partial Extended Survey.
Each student will identify the nine tasks of the Quality Indicators Survey (QIS) standard survey.
Each learner will identify the analysis of scope and severity used by surveyors in making final judgments about the facility’s survey.
