New collaboration brings together a trusted medical supply provider and an innovative compliance technology platform to support survey readiness, quality improvement, and regulatory compliance in long-term care.

October 19, 2026

SurveyGuard, a healthcare technology company focused on regulatory compliance and survey readiness, is proud to announce a nationwide strategic partnership with Professional Medical, Inc. (ProMed), an established medical supply provider serving the long-term care industry since 1968.

Through this joint marketing and sales partnership, SurveyGuard's compliance technology will be introduced to ProMed's network of approximately 1,200 nursing facilities across the United States, creating new opportunities for skilled nursing providers to access tools designed to support regulatory readiness, operational accountability, and ongoing quality improvement.

The partnership represents an important milestone in SurveyGuard's continued growth and its mission to make regulatory compliance more manageable for nursing home administrators, nursing leaders, and interdisciplinary healthcare teams.

Bringing Together Decades of Industry Experience and Modern Compliance Technology

For more than five decades, Professional Medical, Inc. has supported healthcare providers through medical supplies, educational resources, and services designed around the operational needs of the facilities it serves.

SurveyGuard brings a complementary approach to this mission by addressing another critical component of long-term care operations: regulatory compliance.

Built from the real-world experiences of a nurse, licensed nursing home administrator, and healthcare executive, SurveyGuard was developed to address the challenges nursing facilities face when preparing for regulatory surveys, managing corrective actions, responding to grievances, and maintaining effective quality assurance programs.

Together, the organizations aim to connect established industry relationships with modern compliance technology.

"This partnership is especially meaningful to me because SurveyGuard was created from challenges I personally experienced as a nursing home administrator," said Demetrius Kirk, founder of SurveyGuard. "I understand the pressure administrators and nursing teams face, and I believe they deserve technology that helps them stay organized, identify risks, and prepare for surveys before surveyors arrive. Working with an established industry partner like ProMed creates an exciting opportunity to bring that technology to more nursing homes."

Addressing a Critical Challenge in Skilled Nursing: Continuous Survey Readiness

Regulatory compliance remains one of the most demanding responsibilities for skilled nursing facilities.

Administrators and clinical leaders must coordinate numerous ongoing activities, including mock surveys, quality improvement initiatives, grievance investigations, plans of correction, compliance audits, and monitoring activities.

Too often, these responsibilities are managed through disconnected spreadsheets, paper records, emails, and manual tracking systems.

This fragmentation can make it more difficult for leadership teams to identify unresolved concerns, track corrective actions, and maintain consistent oversight of compliance activities.

SurveyGuard was developed to help address these operational challenges.

Rather than treating survey preparation as an activity that begins shortly before an anticipated inspection, SurveyGuard promotes a more proactive approach to regulatory readiness.

Its centralized technology platform helps facilities organize compliance processes, document activities, monitor findings, and strengthen accountability throughout the year.

The goal is to make survey readiness part of everyday operations, not a last-minute response to regulatory pressure.

Introducing SurveyGuard's Compliance Technology to ProMed's Network

Through the partnership, nursing facilities within ProMed's network will have an opportunity to explore SurveyGuard's integrated compliance management solutions.

The platform includes several interconnected modules designed to support key operational and regulatory responsibilities:

Mock Survey Management

Helps facilities conduct internal mock surveys, document findings, identify potential deficiencies, and monitor survey readiness.

Smart Plan of Correction

Supports the development and management of plans of correction, helping facilities organize corrective actions, implementation activities, and follow-up monitoring.

QAPI Management

Provides tools for Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement activities, including performance improvement projects, root cause analysis, and tracking improvement initiatives.

Grievance Management

Supports the documentation, investigation, tracking, and resolution of resident and family grievances while improving visibility into recurring concerns.

Guardian Angel Rounds

Helps facilities conduct structured resident engagement rounds, identify potential concerns, and document follow-up activities.

AuditGuard

Provides tools for conducting and tracking internal compliance audits, documenting findings, and monitoring follow-up actions.

By bringing these functions together, SurveyGuard aims to provide administrators, directors of nursing, regional leaders, and compliance teams with greater visibility into ongoing regulatory activities.

What This Partnership Means for Nursing Facilities

For nursing home providers, this collaboration creates opportunities in three important areas.

1. Greater Access to Compliance Technology

Through ProMed's established customer relationships and national network, more nursing facilities will have the opportunity to learn about SurveyGuard and evaluate whether its solutions meet their operational needs.

2. A More Proactive Approach to Compliance

SurveyGuard is designed to support continuous monitoring and documentation, allowing facilities to identify potential risks, track unresolved findings, and address operational concerns before they become larger problems.

3. Technology Designed by Long-Term Care Professionals

SurveyGuard's approach is grounded in practical healthcare leadership experience.

The platform was developed with an understanding of the responsibilities facing nursing home administrators, directors of nursing, regional operators, and interdisciplinary teams.

This experience informs the platform's emphasis on accessibility, practical workflows, and day-to-day usefulness.

Participating ProMed customers will also have an opportunity to learn about partnership-related pricing options and available SurveyGuard solutions.

A Significant Milestone for SurveyGuard

For SurveyGuard founder Demetrius Kirk, the partnership represents more than an opportunity for business growth.

It reflects the evolution of an idea inspired by years of direct experience in long-term care leadership.

Having served in nursing, facility administration, and executive leadership positions, Kirk recognized the need for technology that could help simplify regulatory workflows and improve how healthcare organizations manage compliance responsibilities.

That experience became the foundation for SurveyGuard.

The partnership with ProMed provides a new opportunity to introduce that vision to facilities on a national scale.

"One of the most rewarding parts of building SurveyGuard has been seeing other industry professionals recognize the problems we're trying to solve," Kirk added. "ProMed understands the importance of supporting the people who care for residents every day. I'm excited about what we can accomplish together."

Looking Ahead: Supporting the Future of Long-Term Care Compliance

The long-term care industry continues to face significant regulatory, staffing, and operational demands.

As these challenges evolve, facilities need practical tools that help leadership teams strengthen existing processes without creating unnecessary administrative burdens.

The SurveyGuard and ProMed partnership reflects a shared interest in providing solutions that support nursing facilities and the professionals responsible for delivering quality care.

By combining ProMed's established industry relationships with SurveyGuard's compliance technology, the organizations aim to expand access to resources that support continuous survey readiness and quality improvement.

The supplies you trust. The compliance platform you need.
