Physical Environment Survey Readiness Program
7 CECs / per day (1 CEC = 1 contact hour)
Is your health care facility prepared for your next physical environment compliance survey? Are you currently in your survey window? Are you looking for help being in continuous compliance?
ASHE’s Physical Environment Survey Readiness Program prepares attendees for their next surveys.
