- Accreditation standards are developed with the input of expert practitioners from around the country. You can’t hardly buy this much expertise about best practices for your service areas and organization.
- Accreditation standards tend to improve organizations in their administrative operations, their services, and the environments of care (facilities). Everyone benefits from the comprehensive scrutiny and thoughtful improvements that accreditation brings.
- The quality improvement processes of accreditation, that are so dependent on various data sources, will result in better-informed leadership and an organization that is more responsive to its clients.
- Accreditation expects that your performance systems will be tied to strategic plans, quality improvement data, and service standards: a perfect combination. Done well, these changes will enhance employee performance and client outcomes.
- The Number 1 reason many agencies like accreditation? It’s the best team builder you can get—meaningful work across agency divisions, with improvements that can be seen and felt. Challenging? Yes, but worth it.
