Survey Support

Hospital accreditation is a cornerstone of quality assurance. Being prepared for a survey and maintaining accreditation is essential to facility operations, assurance of patient safety, and minimizing financial and negative public perception impacts.

IP&MA provides support for accreditation and regulatory compliance throughout the entire cycle for hospitals, long term acute care, home care, hospice, ambulatory care and behavioral health care organizations. We help make sure that you and your staff are confident and prepared to go through the survey process.
