Be survey-ready before the state walks in.
Visit Spectator Health at Booth 110 at Elevate: CALA’s Fall Conference & Trade Show, and see how communities get off paper in weeks and stay ready for every survey.
EZ Scan: from paper binders to digital records, in weeks. EZ Scan uses AI to turn your residents’ paper charts into organized digital records. No retyping, no months-long implementation. Your team keeps caring for residents while EZ Scan does the heavy lifting.
Survey Ready QuickDocs: the documents surveyors ask for most, in a few clicks. QuickDocs pulls together survey- and audit-ready packets for each resident, from appraisals and care plans to medication records and activities of daily living (ADL) documentation. When the surveyor arrives, you hand it over instead of hunting for it.
Survey Shield: catch problems before they become citations. Survey Shield watches your documentation every day and flags what’s missing or overdue, such as a reappraisal coming due, an unsigned medication record, or an incident without follow-up. You can fix it long before survey day. It runs on the same real-time rules platform behind our national quality measures, which is flexible enough to add the requirements your community is actually inspected on.

Avoiding Costly Citations: A Nurse’s Guide to Staying Survey-Ready in Board and Care
November 17, 2026 · 10:30 AM PT
Online · Includes a live demo and Q&A
When a surveyor walks into a board and care home, they’re asking a simple question: is every resident getting the care they need, and can you show it? Rules are tightening state by state, fines are climbing, and most citations trace back to the same few gaps in day-to-day care and paperwork. The good news: you can find those gaps before a surveyor does.
Join Samira Purmul, LVN (licensed vocational nurse), a nurse who has led nursing departments in long-term care, for a practical look at where citations really come from, drawn from real cases in California, Oregon, Texas, Missouri and Nevada, and what you can do about it before your next survey.
What you’ll learn
Why rules for board and care homes are tightening faster than at any time in the last decade, and what’s changing in your state.
The four everyday gaps behind most citations (medications, missed care, scattered records and miscommunication) and how to check for them yourself.
How real citations unfolded, and the warning signs that were there all along.
Simple ways to keep the up-to-date records surveyors look for, without adding hours to your staff’s day.
What a citation really costs, from daily fines to corrective action plans, compared with the cost of preventing one.
Your speaker
Samira Purmul, LVN, Nurse Product Specialist at Spectator Health, has spent more than seven years caring for patients in hospitals, clinics and long-term care, including leading nursing departments in long-term care facilities. Today she makes sure Spectator Health Pro works the way nurses and caregivers actually work. She’ll share what really happens during a survey, not just what the regulation says.
Who should attend
Board and care owners and administrators, and the nurses and caregivers who keep residents’ records.
