Quality Assurance
The CAATE is striving to improve the SV process and increase the quality of its site visits. An integral part of our quality assurance process is obtaining valid feedback from all individuals (peer, program, and review team) involved in the site visit process.
- Cumulative data will be collected and sent to all site visitors.
– Allows the site visitor to see his/her status compared to others – Aids Site Visit Committee in recommending retention and training
- Evaluation includes professionalism, knowledge of Standards, and
preparedness for visit (i.e. fair and objective, maintained confidentiality, unbiased, and appropriately dressed).
- Only as good at the feedback we receive about the process and site
visitors.
