What a CARF Surveyor Really Wants to Tell You
Click here to read the 1-page document (also available on the CARF website). Important excerpts from the article are:
- "We have a great deal of material to cover in a short time."
- "Your documentation should be current and well organized. In other words, we surveyors should not have to dig deep to see that you conform to the standards."
- "Most important, your organization needs to 'live' the standards. Do not shelve the standards manuals to gather dust, even if your organization is not being resurveyed in the coming months."
Be sure to read the feature article (interviews with CARF surveyors) to learn more about how internal and external consultants can benefit your organization. |
