Survey-Ready QAPI Starts Long Before the Survey

Survey readiness is not a binder, a mock survey, or a late-stage cleanup effort. It is the daily evidence that leadership can see risk, act on it, and sustain improvement.

The organizations that perform best have a Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement system that makes daily operations visible: what is being measured, where variation is occurring, who owns the response, and whether the response actually changed the outcome.
