·         Understanding and applying appropriate surveillance methods to accurately evaluate performance
·         Performing surveillance of specified requirements

·         Corrective and Preventative Actions
·         Analyzing surveillance results and providing recommendations for action/improvement
·         Preparing surveillance documentation and reports
·         Management Information Systems Triggers for Surveillance

As part of the training, we also provide a variety of tools to assist in the management and execution of a well-rounded oversight program. These tools include:
 
·         A Surveillance Methodology Selection Tool which assists in defining appropriate surveillance methods for use in assessing performance
·         A Surveillance Frequency Selection Tool, which helps define appropriate intervals for conducting surveillance based on a combination of risk and significance level factors.
·         A Surveillance Action Selection Tool, which provides guidance for follow-on actions when surveillance results are nonconforming.
·         An approach for identifying, consolidating and establishing surveillance requirements including determining baseline significance levels, frequencies, and surveillance methods for each surveillance event.
