Site Visit
Readiness

Checklists, staff readiness, environment readiness, and document preparation before DHS or MDH state-facing reviews.

Site visits — whether scheduled or unannounced — surface the patterns that file reviews can't. We help providers prepare across three dimensions: documentation, staff readiness, and physical environment. The goal is no surprises on visit day.
