What’s the Word on Accreditation?

"Joint Commission’s on-site survey process makes so much sense. It really looks at our services from the clients’ point of view, and gets to how we work on a practitioner level. The standards are interactive, and staff who were interviewed felt professionally validated by that external review."

Michael E. Matoney, CEO
New Directions, Inc.
Cleveland, OH

"As a publicly-funded community behavioral health center, we are under constant pressure to do more with less. Joint Commission requirements are the standards we use to assure we do not sacrifice quality or safety as we change to meet new demands. They are the stakepole around which we organization our systems."

Susan Rushing, PhD
Chief Executive Officer
