Who we serve

Survey Readiness for Hospitals

Hospitals are surveyed under the CMS Conditions of Participation and their accrediting organization's standards, and the Life Safety Code portion of that survey is a specialist's job. Survey Ready Consulting partners with hospitals to assess the physical environment the way a surveyor will, keep the documentation ready and support the facilities team between surveys.

Even with a maintenance department in place, an outside review before CMS or an accreditor arrives consistently finds what internal staff walk past every day.

How hospitals work with SRC

Most hospitals start with an annual mock survey as a baseline, then move to a Quarterly Partnership so open items are tracked to closure and the governing body sees a consistent readiness report every quarter.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Most of the hospitals we partner with have a facilities team. SRC provides the surveyor's perspective, the documentation review and the extra set of eyes before the survey.
