How to Prepare
• Set up a meeting or conference room large enough for the surveyor(s) to meet with key hospital
leaders and survey coordinators.
• Set up a surveyor headquarters room with a computer with internet access for each surveyor, and one
printer for them to share.
• Notify hospital receptionists, so they can direct the surveyor(s) to the room when he or she arrives.
• Have copies of the survey agenda available for all participants in the conference.
• Prior to the survey, decide which hospital leader or staff member will accompany each surveyor
throughout the survey day.
