[NCASG] Survey on Health Facilities Compliance Surveyor

[Meghan Connor]

Brandy,

Please see Wyoming's response below:

1.     Do you have a similar position?  If so, please list.  If you have a
similar position but it does not have to be an RN please include that as
well.

Yes, Wyoming's title is "Health Facility Surveyor" and the job does not
require an  RN but either a bachelors in healthcare with 0-3 years
experience or 4-6 years of healthcare experience.

2.     Does the position travel?

Yes.

3.     If so, how much per week do they travel?

Varies based on need.

4.     Does the position have a designated territory within the state?

Unknown, all of these positions are based out of the Capitol

5.     Does the position work with other positions using a rotation
schedule or something similar?

6.     Do you provide some sort of stipend or premium pay for the position?

No.

8.     What best practices can you share that you use to retain individuals
in this position?

Most of this information would be with our DOH. Most individuals in this
class code have longevity with the state; on average 7 years.

9.     What best practices can you share that you use to recruit
individuals for this position?

Individual recruitment lies with the DOH, but with no premiums offered and
longevity in the position there are no indicators that
recruitment/retention is difficult.

10.   Where have you had the most success recruiting from?

All state jobs are advertised, listed, and must be applied through the
State of Wyoming jobs site powered by NeoGov. Any additional position
advertising efforts would be agency specific.

11.   Our RN's come into the position with a degree and two years of
professional health care experience, then they have other requirements to
learn the regulations. This usually requires 6-9 months before they can
conduct a survey independently. How do your incumbents prepare for
the position?

Our minimum qualifications are:
*Education:*
Bachelor's Degree (typically in Healthcare)
*Experience:*
0-3 years of progressive work experience (typically in Healthcare) with
acquired knowledge at the level of a Health Program Specialist


*OR*


*Education & Experience Substitution:*
4-6 years of progressive work experience (typically in Healthcare) with
acquired knowledge at the level of a Health Program Specialist



*Certificates, Licenses, Registrations:*None


12.  If possible, please provide your class description, minimum
qualifications, and pay information for this series please?

Thanks,


Meghan
