Survey readiness should not begin when surveyors arrive. Facilities that prepare year-round experience less stress, better outcomes, and stronger survey results.
What Year-Round Preparation Looks Like
Facilities that prepare year-round:
Track Risk Proactively
Identify residents at elevated risk before adverse events occur, not after.
Document Facility Response
Maintain clear records of interventions, follow-up, and outcomes.
Maintain QAPI Visibility
Keep dashboards and reports current so they're ready for review at any time.
The Benefits of Year-Round Readiness
This approach reduces stress, improves outcomes, and leads to stronger survey results. When surveyors arrive, facilities can confidently show:
- Evidence of ongoing risk monitoring
- Documentation of timely interventions
- QAPI dashboards with current data
Technology that supports ongoing monitoring and documentation can significantly reduce last-minute preparation.
QAPIShield provides real-time dashboards, automated risk tracking, and documentation-ready outputs that keep facilities survey-ready every day.
