Selecting and Scheduling Facilities for Monitoring Surveys

4159 - Selecting and Scheduling Facilities for Monitoring Surveys (Rev. 1, 05-21-04) Provider and supplier institutions selected for RO monitoring surveys are usually selected from those the SA recently surveyed. Other criteria for the number and types of institutions chosen include the SA workload, whether the SA is regionalized or centralized, and unique survey problems known to exist in the State. The RO notifies the SA in advance, advising it of those institutions selected for a survey. In cases where the RO wishes the SA to announce the survey beforehand, the SA uses Exhibit 62 to notify the provider or supplier of the date and purpose of the survey. The SA surveyor may be invited to accompany the Federal surveyors or the Federal surveyors may accompany a SA team, e.g., OSPATS. If LSC enforcement in the State is handled by a subcontracting agency, someone from that agency maybe asked to accompany the Federal LSC inspector.
