When should a hospital plan for a behavioral health mock survey?
Hospitals providing behavioral health services should plan for a mock survey at least six months before their actual survey. This timeline allows sufficient time to identify areas for improvement and implement corrective actions before the actual survey.
It’s important to conduct a mock survey regularly to ensure continued compliance with regulatory requirements which will help you to maintain accreditation status at the time of your actual survey.
