How does CARF decide how many surveyors will be needed and how many days the survey will take?
The information in the Intent to Survey is carefully reviewed, as is any feedback from the previous survey, if applicable. Many factors are considered, such as the number of persons served, number of service areas seeking accreditation, number of sites to be visited, and the geographic spread of the service locations. Most surveys have a minimum of two surveyors for two or three days.
