Live blog: Get residents involved in site visit prep

By: Julie McCoy October 22nd, 2009

During her presentation on how to prepare for a site visit, Jeri Whitten, C-TAGME, really focused on the fact that residents need to be completely aware of and in agreement with what is written in the program information form.

Remember, the site visitor is there to verify and clarify what you have written. If the site visitor asks the residents a question about something in the PIF, and the residents say, “That’s not how it happens”, you’re chances of getting a citation are high.

Jeri suggested dedicating a few noon conferences to reviewing the PIF with the residents. These meeting should be a month before you submit the PIF. Discuss any discrepancies, and adjust the PIF as needed.

It’s also not a bad idea to include the chief resident(s) on any PIF planning committees.

How do you review the PIF with residents? Leave your comments below.
