A stepwise, sequential plan should be developed by management to establish pre-inspection planning and continuous compliant work practices. These steps can be shared by administration and staff members, as appropriate.
This plan may include but is not limited to the following:
- Staff review of all standards, regulations, checklists, self-assessments, and other guidance and preparatory tools.
- Review and confirmation of file contents to include personnel files, proficiency testing records, policy and procedure manuals, instrument records, and others required by the inspecting agency.
- Verification of management review and signatures of appropriate documents and manuals at appropriate intervals.
- Mock Survey for verification of compliance with requirements and processes at all times.
- Complete staff participation in the post-inspection organization of required changes and adjustments, submission of a plan of correction (POC), and institution and consistent adherence to the submitted plan of correction.
