The California Department of Health has issued an All Facilities Letter announcing its participation in the Quality Indicator Survey (QIS) Demonstration Project for skilled nursing facilities in San Diego and East Bay District Office areas. The QIS is an automated survey system designed to objectively review all regulatory areas and focus on selected areas for further review. The system requires facilities to provide two separate lists: a Census List of all current residents and an Admission List of residents admitted within the last 30 days. Facilities may be selected to participate in the QIS survey system, which will be the survey of record. The QIS system is expected to be used as the survey of record for all surveys in the near future, with rollout and training commencing in Fiscal Year 2007-08. San Diego and East Bay District Offices will be using the QIS System for all surveys by the end of the next fiscal year. Facilities are expected to cooperate and provide the required information promptly upon the survey team's arrival.
