For home health agencies, accreditation can seem like a puzzle with no solution. Just choosing which accreditation to pursue can be a confusing and difficult challenge without the right guide. You might be facing questions such as: What are my needs? Is the additional expense of The Joint Commission Accreditation really necessary? What do I need to do to prepare for accreditation?
Frequently our consultants are asked by our clients to help with choosing which accreditation will be the most appropriate for their particular business. Some important considerations include: their client preferences or mandates, value of performance measurement data required by a particular accreditation process, cost, contribution to company infrastructure or marketing advantages.
Positioning one’s company in this current healthcare reform environment is challenging. It is important to examine your goals to calculate the most advantageous accreditation path: TJC, CHAP, NCQA, URAC? We know them all, and can sort through the maze with you.
