Vastian Readiness

Vastian Readiness is an accreditation and survey readiness management solution designed for hospitals and health systems. It provides a fully digital environment for teams to organize, document, and demonstrate compliance evidence to deeming authorities, including for self-assessments, mock surveys, and formal on-site surveys.

The platform is built to support compliance with requirements from major accrediting and regulatory bodies, including Joint Commission standards (LD.01.03.01, PI.01.01.01, PI.02.01.01), CMS regulations (42 CFR 482.12 and 42 CFR 482.21), and DNV NIAHO standards (QM.3, GL.1, IM.1). It is intended for regulatory and quality teams seeking to reduce requests for information (RFIs) and nonconformities while maintaining continuous survey readiness.
