Survey Trail

The paper trail, kept while the day happens.

Survey Trail quietly assembles observations, interventions, and approvals into packets you can pull up for clinical review, internal audits, or a family conversation.

Action trail

One day, one resident, every action in order.

A resident-risk workflow example. All identifiers are anonymized operational data; no real resident information appears.

  • · Clinical review before a care plan meeting
  • · Internal incident or grievance review
  • · Pulling a single resident's trail for a family conversation

How operators use them

  • DNV prep with traceable source events.
  • Joint Commission walkthroughs and tabletop reviews.
  • Internal quality reviews and incident follow-up.

AcuityRow is not endorsed or certified by DNV or The Joint Commission. Packets are prepared by the operator's team using AcuityRow's evidence trail.

Survey Trail helps organize review.
It does not guarantee survey results.

Surveys depend on care, charting practices, and the judgment of your team. AcuityRow assembles what you already do into a packet so nothing has to be reconstructed from memory.
