Test-Related Activities

4009.4 - Test-Related Activities (Rev. 23, Issued: 01-19-07; Effective/Implementation Dates: 02-20-07) 4009.4A – Recordkeeping (Rev. 23, Issued: 01-19-07; Effective/Implementation Dates: 02-20-07) The SA will use a standardized format to structure an SMQT record for each LTC surveyor. The SA uses this format to track implementation of the training and testing program and the progress of individual surveyors toward its completion. The RO will use this format for Federal surveyors. Each record must include at least the following: • Full name; • Surveyor identification number; • Entry on duty date; • Date the individual completed prerequisite requirements for the SMQT; • Date(s) the individual took the SMQT, dates of retests; and • Date of successful completion of the SMQT. These records should not be destroyed under any circumstances and are confidential. 4009.4B – Training of Surveyors That Do Not Pass the SMQT (Rev. 23, Issued: 01-19-07; Effective/Implementation Dates: 02-20-07) The SA develops a standardized plan to provide training for those surveyors who do not successfully complete the SMQT, (e.g., onsite observation of survey team, independent study, continuing education). The plan should address how the SA identifies the most effective approach for each individual in training, and how it manages the individual’s progress.
