Your survey for ACHC Sleep Accreditation is an independent assessment that evaluates your sleep facility’s compliance with regulatory requirements.

Throughout the survey process, your Surveyor will review required documents, assess policies and procedures, and interview key personnel, employees, and contracted individuals who provide direct care on behalf of your sleep facility.

Who Is Likely to Be Interviewed?

• Governing body or owner
• Medical Director
• Customer Service/Administrative Support
• Clinical Personnel
• Licensed Personnel
• Sleep Technicians
• Sleep Lab Manager

Prepare in Advance

Some may be uncomfortable about the possibility of being interviewed. Preparing personnel in advance on how to answer potential interview questions can help ease their anxiety. More importantly, it can also solidify their understanding of your facility’s policies and processes.

ACHC Standards are designed to help you easily identify subject areas that may require personnel interviews during your survey. At the end of each standard, a list of evidence requirements for compliance is provided. A listing for “Evidence: Response to Interviews” indicates a potential for personnel interviews related to that standard.

For additional guidance, the ACHC Accreditation Guide to Success workbook for sleep facilities includes an audit tool that can help you prepare personnel to confidently answer potential interview questions.
