We Want to Help You Have a Perfect Survey

ProMed created Compliance Solutions: For the Perfect Survey Every Day because we strongly believe that you don’t need another software program or consultant telling you how to prepare for your next survey. You already know where potential problem areas lie – what you need are solutions.

We offer complimentary monthly webinars to walk you through all of the features of our exclusive online survey preparation tool, including:
  • The actual forms that surveyors use
  • Guidance broken down by F tag and care area
  • Exclusive tips from industry veterans
  • Case studies to address how you would handle specific challenges in your own facility
  • An interactive community in which you can trade suggestions and solutions with other industry experts
We add fresh content to the site on a monthly basis, including new challenge scenarios, videos and featured survey tips. During this month's webinar, we will also devote time to discussing changes to the traditional survey process that will be implemented beginning December 1.

Click on the link above to register for our December 13 webinar, which will be held from
11:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. CST.
