Benchmarking Surveys


AHAP surveys its members each quarter. These surveys are on different topics related to the many challenges accreditation professionals face, such as complying with various Joint Commission standards and National Patient Safety Goals. After the information is gathered, AHAP members receive a report summarizing the results. The first of these benchmarking surveys was the 2007 Survey Coordinator Salary Survey, which AHAP will continue to conduct each year.
