Katie Gordon, CNO
Altus Lumberton Hospital
"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
"Our team leader was a great teacher. She knew her standards and was instrumental in explaining appropriateness of dating food items with opened dates and expiration dates. She allowed us to ask questions without fear of penalty. She set everyone at ease and wasn't demeaning to the staff."
Diane Taylor, Director of Quality
Exalt Health Rehabilitation Hospital Wildwood
"We appreciated that the surveyors took an educational approach, providing valuable insights into best practices that will help us strengthen our compliance and, ultimately, patient care.

It was a collaborative, thorough process and experience. The inspectors were insightful, pointing out not just what needed to change, but why, helping our team better understand the 'what' and 'why' of regulatory requirements. The feedback was clear, actionable and focused on helping us meet and exceed industry standards.

We are very grateful for the continued journey together."
Marzia Khan, CEO
West Chase Houston Hospital
"Our team leader was amazing! She was extremely helpful with locating resources we needed and genuinely appeared to enjoy being in our facility. She treated my staff with kindness and respect. She also looked for ways to help us be better as an organization, ways to streamline processes while remaining compliant and offered tips that made a mountain feel more like a molehill. As much as we were hoping for Rick to show up, our experience with our survey team was equally as positive! Our life safety specialist was great! He worked with our Plant Ops Director so well and was very complimentary of his approach to maintain the facility."
