When Surveyors Walk In: A Leadership Guide to Survey Readiness

Surveyors are not the enemy, fear is. When staff panic, mistakes multiply and confidence fades. Join AAPACN curriculum development specialist, Lauren Stenson, for this 60-minute session created to empower nursing facility leaders to remove fear from the survey process by preparing staff to speak with confidence, understand their responsibilities, and stay calm when observed. Using real-world examples and practical leadership strategies, you will learn how to create a survey-ready culture that supports staff, strengthens systems, and improves outcomes well before surveyors ever walk through the door.

When the opportunity to pursue the NHA-CT was presented, it was an easy decision. I had already seen the immediate value AAPACN brings through a recent seminar our clinical and MDS teams attended, so I knew this was the right step. This certification reinforces the standards every administrator should strive for. It directly supports how I lead my teams across Missouri and Kansas, and ultimately, our shared mission of delivering the best possible care to those we serve.
