Looking for someone to talk to who has already been through the behavioral health accreditation process? If you've applied for accreditation, we're happy to match you up with a contact at an accredited organization. Learn more or sign up.
Accreditation is the process of inviting outside experts to conduct a review of your organization to validate and/or improve the safety and quality of care, treatment or services provided, as measured by compliance with accreditation requirements.
Organizations often seek Joint Commission accreditation as a means to enhance organizational performance. Accreditation may also be used to meet licensure requirements or conditions of participation with payors. And Joint Commission accreditation is a visible symbol to individuals served and the community of an organization’s commitment to safe, quality care.
