What's the Word on Accreditation?

“The new survey process is a better method to review the continuation and
consistency of care.  It focuses on the integration between all areas.”

“Joint Commission accreditation is a significant operational element that provides a structure for achieving clinical and service excellence.  Ballard Healthcare has maintained its Long Term Care accreditation and participated in Deemed Status in Illinois for more than 20 year with great satisfaction.”

Planning for accreditation in 2009? 

New!  For a limited time only.  Click here to view upcoming improvements to several standards chapters. The Long Term Care program is in the midst of a standards improvement initiative. No new requirements are being added, but the existing standards are being rewritten, resequenced, consolidated, and/or divided into new chapters to improve the clarity and flow of information.  For more information, visit the main SII page.
