CIHQ Client Feedback - Accreditation
“Our survey team leader did an outstanding job coordinating the survey. She kept everyone on task and informed. Our generalist surveyor was also great in her role. She provided great feedback and ensured all hospital staff understood what she was looking at, why she was reviewing it, and the importance of the survey. Our life safety specialist survey was very professional. He executed his survey duties very well and has a wealth of knowledge.”
