Successful Re-accreditation
Once an agency completes their initial accreditation, it can become complacent because they have achieved their immediate goal. This oftentimes results in very serious issues in the re-accreditation process which occurs in year three.
When the time comes for you to complete re-accreditation with your accrediting body, your agency will have accumulated three years’ worth of data for the surveyor to review. The result is a re-accreditation survey is much more intense than an initial accreditation survey.
If your agency is not vigilant and compliant at all times, this will lead to issues at the re-accreditation survey.
Major deficiencies in this survey may result in multiple visits from your accrediting body. This can cost your agency thousands of dollars, and jeopardize your accreditation.
Active participation in our Quality Outcomes Program will ensure that when the time for your re-accreditation comes, you will pass with flying colors. By staying on top of quality agency operations, you will have a hassle-free re-accreditation.
