The Outcome-Oriented Survey Process

2736 - The Outcome-Oriented Survey Process (Rev. 91, Issued: 09-27-13, Effective: 09-27-13, Implementation: 09-27-13) The outcome-oriented survey process for SNFs, NFs, HHAs and ICFs/IID places emphasis on individual outcomes. The focus of the survey is to determine whether the facility is actually providing services rather than whether the facility is capable of providing them. See Appendix P for SNFs and NFs, Appendix B for HHAs, and Appendix J for ICFs/IID. The outcome-oriented survey process for laboratories places emphasis upon performance. It determines whether the laboratory is actually providing accurate and reliable results rather than whether the laboratory is capable of providing them (see Appendix C).
