SA Survey Team Composition

2706 - SA Survey Team Composition (Rev. 91, Issued: 09-27-13, Effective: 09-27-13, Implementation: 09-27-13) Survey team size and composition vary according to the type of provider/supplier and the purpose of the survey. For routine SA certification surveys, professional disciplines and experience represented by the survey team is to reflect the expertise needed to determine compliance with the CoPs, standards, or requirements for that provider/supplier group. Also, the SA should consider the history or special characteristics of the provider/supplier in selecting members of the survey team. In all instances, members of the survey team must meet education and training qualifications specified in §4009. In general, the size and type of the provider/supplier govern the size of teams. ICF/IID survey teams are to include personnel with expertise in developmental disabilities, and, except for LSC, all members are to survey together during the same time intervals.
