What CIHQ Accredited Hospitals Are Saying!

"On behalf of Lafayette Physical, I would like to thank the surveyors. They recognized that surveys are nerve racking, but they did a great job of explaining and easing the anxiousness. They explained and provided guidance. They acknowledged the hard work that all members of the staff do. The experience was conducive to learning."

"This was my first survey experience with CIHQ, and I was extremely pleased with the entire process. Our team leader was very knowledgeable and made us feel comfortable from start to finish. She created a supportive atmosphere that helped ease any anxiety and encouraged open communication. I especially appreciated the education she provided throughout the survey, as it made the experience not only evaluative but also highly informative and valuable. Overall, it was a very positive and constructive experience.

Our life safety specialist was very knowledgeable and personable throughout the survey process. He created a supportive environment and helped put everyone at ease. He also provided valuable education to our Director of Plant Operations during the survey, making the experience both informative and constructive. Overall, it was a very positive experience."
Mrs. Kristen Jordan, Director of Quality
Mercy Rehabilitation Hospital Northwest Arkansas
"I personally appreciated that our team leader began the survey process with introductions and reminding us that there is always some variability in the way a team surveys and that they identify as being more aggressive surveyors but in a collegial way. That being said, throughout the survey process the team was very supportive. Requests for more information on subjects were respectful and positive.

Our generalist surveyor was also supportive and established a rapport with us by relating about the difficulties of directorship, which our CCO appreciated. She helped to put our leadership team at ease throughout the survey process.

Our Life Safety surveyor is extremely knowledgeable in his field. He uses a very clinical approach to his survey of life safety despite not having a medical background. When he identified facility issues he also offered a suggestion of how to correct them. "
