What is SMART?

VHCA-VCAL’s Survey Management and Analysis Resource Tool (SMART) is a members-only tool to view and analyze current trends and patterns in the LTCSP.  SMART can provide you with detailed information about survey results for nursing centers and regions via statewide and custom comparison reports for a range of metrics and user-specified date ranges.

To get access to SMART, request a user login and complete the online form to have your SMART account access established. For VHCA-VCAL members who have submitted survey information, online access will be set-up and instructions will be sent back to the individual who made the request within two working days.
