From the AHAP Blog: AHAP Conference Contest: Unannounced survey
The AHAP Blog is running a contest for a drawing to win a free seat to its annual conference in Las Vegas to be held on May 6-7, 2010. The contest will pick a monthly AHAP member as the winner in February, March, and April.
Our latest contest entry comes from Linda M. Glaeser, RN, MS, manager of healthcare accreditation and regulatory affairs at Seattle Cancer Care Alliance. Linda writes:
At Seattle Cancer Care Alliance we carry multiple accreditations, beyond The Joint Commission, including CAP, ASHI, FACT, ACR, and Committee on Cancer. As a result, we must be prepared for multiple on-site, and usually unannounced, surveys/inspections. We are striving to “handle” the arrival of a survey team and inspection in a more uniform manner. The attached Policy/Procedure is our most recent endeavor related to a consistent approach. employee orientation, and to the nursing and medical staff who need core measure education.
