Frequently Asked Questions: Survey Participation

Participating organizations receive an electronic copy of the final report for $100 (a $325 savings)!

Each participating organization will be provided with an Excel/CSV document to complete their data collection. Once the data collection is complete, the Excel/CSV document will be sent back to LMI for import into the survey. By utilizing the Excel/CSV document allowing LMI to import your data we hope to reduce the time spent collecting and submitting the needed information.

Organizations can also submit their data online through the survey site, this is a manual process. Participants will be provided with login information upon request. Participants are unable to upload data.

If there are multiple hospitals/locations within your system you would like to include, data collection forms will need to be completed for each location. Each location is eligible for the discounted final report.

Data collection can include as many or as few as you would like. Multiple people can have access to the online site and/or the excel forms can be shared.

It is reported that data collection can take anywhere from 4 to 40 hours. The amount of time is based on the number of people helping to collect the information.

This is a voluntary survey; we ask that participants answer all questions that they can, however there is not requirement.

We do ask that all participants provide unit specific data for as many units as possible, to receive the discounted electronic copy.

All unit types are accepted. Nursing, non-nursing, ancillary, lab, pharmacy, etc. LMI does require at least 4 units per unit type to publish the results.
