The Joint Commission Accreditation &
Medicaid/Medicare Survey Preparation
The Joint Commission now requires continuous
standards compliance that will result in continuous improvement in support
of safe, high quality care. The Joint Commission accreditation requirements are now
squarely focused on quality of care and patient safety. Accreditation
Surveys, Mid-Cycle Performance Reviews, Self Assessments, and Plans of
Action all drive your organization to achieving continuously higher levels
of quality of care and patient safety.
QPS can guide your organizations through the intricacies of the Joint
Commission
accreditation process as well as the Medicaid/Medicare survey. QPS
consultants are subject matter experts in the accreditation process for
organizations that provide behavioral health care and/or provide substance
abuse programs. QPS consultants will assist your staff in the
Identification of Compliance Standards and related Compliance
Requirements, Planning and Preparing for Surveys, Performing
Self-Assessments, Establishing Plans of Action, or responding to Joint
Commission inquiries.
QPS consultants have substantial
personal experience with accreditation and regulatory surveys for
organizations that provide behavioral health care and substance abuse
programs. We have the knowledge of the standards being reviewed and the

met. Our focus areas are the same as the Joint Commission's focus areas, as
