It’s hard to improve on perfection. I’m currently going through a State/Federal survey to follow up on the recent HFAP survey and all I can say is, it’s the difference between night and day. We really enjoyed our survey with HFAP. Even though stress can be high, they turned the experience into a very good educational session as well. Kudos to your process and your surveyors!
