There is no cost to participate.

• 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.
