Does your team face accreditation surveys with confidence—or with dread? On this week’s episode of ‘Citation Nation,’ we welcome Katie Belski, an Infection Preventionist with a unique blend of experience in Sterile Processing, patient safety coordination, and IP, who shares hard-won lessons from both sides of the survey table. From the do’s and don’ts of answering surveyors’ questions (hint: less is more) to the everyday red flags that trip up even seasoned teams, Katie breaks down practical strategies for staying survey ready year-round. She also explains why competencies, policies, and practice drills are critical to avoiding the “gotcha” moments that challenge teams under pressure. Tune in today to discover how preparation, perspective, and poise can turn survey survival into survey success—and why infection stops where information starts.
