EK’s mock survey and comprehensive gap analysis executive report helped us to understand the level of our compliance and gauge our readiness for our upcoming reaccreditation survey. Based on EK’s gap analysis, the consultant helped to develop a customized project master plan that helped us prioritize each key section and thus we were able to complete all tasks within the timeframe. The accurate diagnostic survey and the strategic remediation plans provided us clear guidance and solutions on what and how to correct all the deficiencies in a correct way such a short time. We are so glad that we engaged EK SRx.

Mock Survey – A Key Part of Accurate Diagnosis and Plans for Corrections, Improvement
EK’s mock survey was outstanding and the mock survey itself helped us greatly. It was like we were going through a real survey. EK principal consultant simulated the actual survey from the opening conference, thorough review of entire policies and each required document in detail, staff interview during facility tour, process observations, citing deficiencies all the way to the closing conference. Throughout the mock survey, the consultant provided strategies to correct all deficient areas and refine each area. We learned so much through EKs mock survey and we were able to put all the remaining puzzles together to complete our re-accreditation preparation with greater confidence and clarity. I truly believe the mock survey was a key part of us being able to understand where we were in terms of compliance and with EK's help establish/implement a plan to improve it.
