nurse1986 · Jun 4, 2005

Just wondering if anyone has any experiences they would like to share regarding this. My facility is in the process of having a federal survey done and I have never dealt with this before.
Thanks for the input

from Ohio make sure you have allyour charts in order, your mantouxs done within 30 days. the MAR's signed off each day each shift. no expired meds. narc count corrects and signed off each shift .

stay calm DONOT OFFER THEM ANYTHING GIVE THEM ONLY WHAT THEY ASK FOR NOTHING MORE

good luck

Thank goodness they are gone now. The major area of concern for them was falls. Just curious how did your survey turn out?

Thanks again.

Having been down that road with my company twice now, you had a team that was in a good mood, or else you fed them well.

The last fed review I had to go bail out had 45 pages of citations, 43 of which were on nutrition and dietary.

WHAT A MESS!!!!
