Survey risk does not begin when the survey team walks through the door. It begins in daily leadership decisions, communication patterns, and system oversight. In today’s regulatory climate, administrators must move beyond reactive correction and lead with proactive compliance strategies that protect residents and the facility. 

In this session, Amanda Odom, RN, and former multi-state surveyor Linzie Bugg will break down how high-level deficiencies and Immediate Jeopardy situations develop, what surveyors are truly evaluating, and how leaders can build systems that prevent escalation. Through real-world examples and practical tools, participants will learn how to strengthen interdisciplinary accountability, sharpen monitoring practices, and lead with confidence during high-pressure survey situations.

• Identify early warning signs that place facilities at risk for Immediate Jeopardy and high-level citations.
• Analyze systemic breakdowns in leadership oversight, communication, and documentation that contribute to escalated survey findings.
• Implement proactive monitoring and accountability strategies that reduce regulatory risk and strengthen survey readiness.
• Demonstrate leadership communication techniques that promote transparency, rapid response, and sustained compliance during survey activity.
