Overview
The 2021 edition has been completely revamped and updated to reflect current state and federal law.
The surveyors have arrived, unannounced, at your hospital. What do you do first? What will the surveyors do?
The California Hospital Survey Manual can help hospitals prepare for the survey process, explains how surveyors conduct their surveys, and offers tips for achieving a successful survey.
The manual covers the different types of surveys and possible outcomes, and:

- Outlines tasks that must be done after the survey
- Describes the laws surveyors use to assess compliance
- Discusses surveyor rights and restrictions regarding access to privileged materials
- Includes sample forms, charts and instruction sheets to calculate penalties
