Surveyor/Staff Interaction Tips
• Staff should be familiar with routine policies/procedures and be able to describe the “how” and ”why” of a process
• If unable to answer completely, it is acceptable to say “I would consult policy”
• When a surveyor is observing, staff should just do what they normally do
