Heroes make a difference in the lives of others. Charles Marshall wraps up the 25th Silver Jubilee with Real Heroes don’t Wear Spandex! They’re folks you see every day whose words and actions impact the people around them. Heroes aren’t celebrities or sports figures. Heroes aren’t the rich and famous. Heroes are ordinary people who do extraordinary things. This closing presentation will challenge you to be a hero in the lives of people around you. #summit2024 #pedrottis #sanantonio #education #speakers #topics #silverjubilee #25years #wrapup #heros #healthcare #facilities #hospitals #ordinary

#NationalHealthCareSurveyorWeek #greatful #thankful #commitment Billy Kinch Paula Barnes Rick Curtis Gina Miller
I’m proud to honor the over 8,400 state and federal health care surveyors serving our country during #NationalHealthCareSurveyorWeek. These dedicated professionals travel endlessly throughout the 50 states and US territories to perform over 100,000 investigations in more than 66,000 Medicare and Medicaid certified health care facilities to ensure our loved ones receive safe and effective care in hospitals, nursing homes, hospice, home health and 14 other institutional care settings. Theirs is a story of sacrifice and commitment to ensure all, especially the most vulnerable among us, receive the care we deserve. One week is barely enough to convey our gratitude, but it’s a start… Association of Health Facility Survey Agencies

⭐ News You Can Use! ⭐ August's Compliance Tip of the Month The compliance tip of the month for August is focused on an organization’s Quality Assessment & Performance Improvement (QAPI) program. Hospitals are often cited when based on a review of documents or staff/leadership interviews a surveyor is not able to see how services or departments are incorporated into the QAPI program. The program must also include the organization’s compliance with the NFPA life safety code and care environment. Additionally, CMS now requires surveyors to evaluate not only the data and analysis itself but how the organization goes about ensuring that there is sustained improvement over time in order to determine the success of the overall program.
