Readiness

Readiness is a milestone you have achieved when you notify CHAP that you are ready for your Site Visit

Prepare with Confidence

Use the optional self study to prepare with confidence. The self study is a custom online checklist to use to ensure there aren’t any gaps in following CHAP standards. It is online, and mirrors the standards. While it is optional, it is recommended as a great operational tool for site visit readiness. It helps you prepare for your site visit by answering: where to start, how to organize, and how to delegate work to my team.

Review the Accreditation Process Checklist

The self study is a site visit preparation tool. The self study and the standards work hand in hand to assist you in achieving the highest level of success in your CHAP accreditation, and could reduce the risk of citations and deficiencies.

Your site visitor has access to your completed self study and uploaded documents, which can help create a “blueprint” of your organization, optimizing your onsite experience with CHAP.

Final Readiness Call

We host a conference with your organization to walk through what you can expect during a site visit. On this call, we focus on how to prepare with confidence by reviewing your readiness checklist to lower your stress and create a great survey experience.

On the readiness call we will discuss and review that you:

Understand the CMS requirements for census at the time of survey to reduce the chance of an aborted visit.
If applicable: review definition of skilled services and service lines
Confirm hours of operation, contact, and account information
Verify licensure and active documents and unduplicated admission counts for medicare certification.
Ensure we have a copy of the 855-A letter and service license if applicable
Review your accreditation team contact info for any last minute questions..

We work quickly. We are proud of our timely response to readiness.
