Vizient Southeast’s Accreditation services include education, training, and compliance support focused on members’ survey readiness.

Our services include a robust and balanced accreditation process that takes place over a rotating three-year period.  A full Mock Survey is conducted within Year 1 of the cycle followed by a Pre-Survey Check 4-6 months before the next full triennial survey in year 2.  Post survey consultation, review and validation of Evidence of Standard Compliance (ESC) occurs within 60 days of each survey.  Accreditation Rounds occur during Year 3 to monitor progress and sustainability of compliance with applicable standards and CMS Conditions of Participation
