Finally, the PHA is required to submit a Follow-up Plan addressing troubled areas identified by survey results.

A PHA gets a hard copy of the audit from the auditor. Either the PHA or its designate inputs the audited information into the FASS system.

There are three steps required to take the PHA. (1) Set up a PatientLink account at http://patientlink.osumc.edu . PatientLink is an OSUMC web site that provides access to the PHA.
