Choose the right perspective
Match the consultant's specialty to the problem in front of you, since OASIS and coding review, accreditation and survey preparation, and turning around agency operations draw on different experience. Ask how recently they have worked with agencies of your size and payer mix, and whether they offer interim leadership or advice only.
