Which item is typically included in the post-survey report?

• A. Documented findings, deficiencies, recommendations, corrective actions, dates, signatures, and system information.
• B. Budget numbers and costs
• C. Training schedules for operators
• D. System information and signatures

Answer: (A)

After a survey, the post-survey report should be a complete, auditable record of what was found and what needs to be done. It lists the findings observed, notes any deficiencies, offers recommendations to address them, and specifies corrective actions with deadlines. It also includes dates for when actions should be completed, signatures from the inspector and the system operator, and system information to identify the facility. This combination ensures accountability, a clear path for remediation, and traceability for regulatory review. Budget numbers and costs aren’t part of the standard post-survey record, and training schedules belong in separate operator management materials; a post-survey report needs the findings, deficiencies, recommendations, corrective actions, dates, signatures, and system information to be complete.
