Title	Off-Hour Surveys--Clarification
Memo #	01-09
Posting Date	03/23/2001
Fiscal Year	2001
Summary	During the Alliance for Consistency conference and the January 2001 Association of Health Facility Survey Agencies Executive Board meeting, clarification was requested on the ten percent off-hour (staggered survey) requirement contained in Section 7200 of the State Operations Manual (SOM). Specifically, questions were raised regarding 1) acceptable starting times for off-hour surveys, 2) the definition of “holiday” and how surveys that begin on holidays should be reflected in OSCAR and 3) whether States must initiate off-hour surveys in each of the targeted time periods (i.e., early morning, evening and weekend). Clarification of HCFA's policy in these three areas follows.
