SMS, Incorporated's highly experienced technical staff systematically evaluate all components of these program areas, including Management Plans, Policies, and Procedures. Our technical experts will interview your key personnel and mentor them in the ways of successful program management. Where indicated, our technical staff will teach and train your staff using survey-proven methods to best present the organization's programs to the surveyor. Upon completion of an audit and review, the consultant will provide a comprehensive report of the status of your programs, including a scorecard of compliance you can use for corrective action. In addition to this snapshot of compliance, the consultant will make specific recommendations of how the organization might improve programs and accreditation scores. We recommend that the audit take place at least 6 months before the survey to allow sufficient time to fine tune programs and prepare for the survey.
