Health Planning Surveys Are Important By March 2, 2018, all Georgia ambulatory surgery centers (“ASC’s”) must submit the annually-required Certificate of Need survey (the “Survey”) to the Department of Community Health (the “Department”). The 2017 ASC survey for free-standing single-specialty, physician-owned, office-based ASC’s is found here, http://georgiahealthdata.info/2017_Freestanding_Ambulatory_Surgery_Survey.PDF, and for free-standing multispecialty, mimited purpose, and CON-regulated single-specialty ASC’s is found here: http://georgiahealthdata.info/2017_Freestanding_Ambulatory_Surgery_Survey_CON.pdf. It is easy to view these surveys as yet another regulatory requirement, but these surveys are important for both the State of Georgia …show more content…
If an ASC fails to comply, the Department has regulatory authority to revoke the Certificate of Need or assess fines of up to $500.00 per day (up to 30 days’ late) and $1000.00 per day (after 30 days). It is true that these remedies are disfavored, but they do exist and may be applied where circumstances warrant. Second, in submitting this required survey, an ASC is accurately communicating the services that it provides to the Department. An ASC effectively tells the Department, “we are meeting a need for X in the relevant service area and no further need exists.” Indeed, applicants for CON’s and LNR’s tediously study each and every relevant survey. Third, ASC’s should know that the information within these ASC surveys (and non-ASC surveys) guide the Department in determining whether to grant or deny CON applications. Where a provider has failed to submit a survey, the Department and the parties are forced to ignore that provider in any decision or argument made. The absence of a survey will unfairly help or harm parties seeking CON approval from the Department. Simply put, if a survey does not exist, each party will use that fact for its own advantage in any litigated CON
Often in practice, we as nurses deal with a variety of diseases and treatments and often have to react to the illness that the patient presents with upon our interaction. While this is an essential piece of our practice, we also have a duty to our patients to be proactive in preventing specific health-related consequences based on their risk factors and to promote their health and well being. Health promotion as it relates to nursing is about us empowering our patients to increase their control over their lives and well beings and includes: focusing on their health not just illness, empowering our patients, recognizing that health involves many dimensions and is also effected by factors outside of their control (Whitehead et al. 2008)..
Activities that we would engage in for this partnership grant to achieve our overall objective include developing surveys and facilitating focus
Unlike APLSS, the ICE survey differs in that just about anyone – whether you are an inpatient customer, out-patient customer, employee, or so forth - may complete the online survey cards to provide feedback to the service providers they have encountered at the specific military installation and related facilities around the world. In addition, it also has the option to request a response from
Conditions of Participation was created to ensure all facilities participating in Medicare follow a set of regulations that protect the safety of Medicare recipients. In 1986 revisions were made to reinforce accreditation and certification procedures. Participating hospitals that are accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations or American Osteopathic Association have been deemed to meeting Conditions of Participation requirements on the wellbeing of Medicare Recipients. The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations also requires that the facilities are licensed by their state. (Lohr, 1990, p.
Once the surveys are returned to the company, they are returned to the Customer Satisfaction Action Team. This team reviews the surveys, separates them by employee and then by the results.. The results are separated by “Excellent” and “Very Good” and then “Fair” and “Poor” marks. The card members that score a “Fair” or “Poor” mark on the survey is called back by one of the team members and the issue is discussed further to find out why the survey was marked that way. The comments that the card members make on the surveys are returned to the employee’s team leaders. The team leader gives the feedback to the employee and discusses with them their best practices or opportunities that need to be worked on.
We asked those service providers who expressed dissatisfaction with any of the above program elements (a “6” or below on a scale from 0-10) why they were dissatisfied. We found little consensus among providers regrading issues they had with the above program elements. Among the fifteen providers who expressed dissatisfaction, areas of dissatisfaction mentioned included:
...ts gave to me about my survey and I agree with them. The comments were very helpful because it showed me what the students found confusing and if I was to redo the survey, I would apply the comments and changes that the students made into my new survey so that other students do not get confused with the question.
Is the survey administered to prevent the collection of identifiable data (e.g. email address), and IP addresses?
In order to get a more representative sample, I decided not to survey at CSUSM but at the mall where my sample population would consist of people other than students. Before handing people the survey I asked them two simple questions: Are you a licensed driver? and Do you consume alcoholic beverages? To those that answered yes to both questions, I passed out the following survey:1.
The right side of the survey is that it is cost effective as it does not have to spend lot of money in getting the survey done. Secondly is that is easy to administer and control. Thirdly is that surveys are very useful in describing the characteristic of a large population overall as there is no other research method that can have such a broad capacity provided. This would ensure that accurate sample is gather which is important for drawing the conclusion and make wise decision of what trainin...
...sis, which could make all results invalid. With any research projects, limitations will be present. It is important to attempt to eliminate some of these causes in order to complete a thorough, accurate study. In future projects, this study could go about researching the issue in different ways. Perhaps using a larger sample size would be conducive for accurate results. A larger sample size helps reduce and even out any possible errors caused by those who do not answer truthfully. Also, keeping the surveys mainly anonymous would help to receive more truthful and accurate responses from participants. Participants may be fearful of judgments on open interviews or phone interviews, which could affect responses. In order to obtain as accurate results as possible, a future study would need to find ways to survey participants in a confidential way that feels comfortable.
• Require consistent and accurate data collection procedures, including number of persons served, quantity and type of literature or materials distributed, and demographics of persons served. A description of the tools to be used and definitions of various measurements (e.g., "unit of service" and "contact") should be outlined.
Surveys are an effective and popular method for research because of the efficiency, versatility and generalizability. Generalizability is the ability to sample and draw research conclusions for large populations (Bachman & Schutt, 2012). In order to effectively maximize outcomes in survey research, surveys must be structured to avoid unclear or confusing questions. Demographic related questions should be avoided if not pertinent to the research study (Bachman & Schutt, 2012). Generally, the motivation of the researcher is clearly identified in a survey, and the respondent has the option of declining involvement in the survey. There are fewer ethical dilemmas with survey research than other types of research methods.
Throughout our healthy brains, healthy bodies course so far, we have learned time and time again about the strong and important relationship between our brains and our bodies. Health and wellness is not one single thing, it is a collection of practices, attitudes and ways of being in the world, which help us cultivate the best form of ourselves. Finding and understanding the ways in which we can best take care of ourselves, and then applying them, gives us the opportunity to improve our physical, cognitive, mental and emotional wellbeing. Embodying our healthiest selves helps not only us, it helps those around us by providing a positive example about how to exist within our own bodies, and exist within the world. Throughout this paper, we will
