Cooperative Accreditation Agreement Formed
Two accreditation bodies, the Continuing Care Accreditation Commission (CCAC) and CARF, announced a cooperative accreditation agreement for organizations providing assisted living, adult daycare and health-enhancement services. Susan Ganson, director of quality and education for CCAC, said consumers are the ultimate winners when organizations commit themselves to a rigorous certification process. Under the agreement, a provider already accredited by CCAC, or one seeking CCAC accreditation, may concurrently apply for accreditation by CARF. Although providers must apply separately to each accrediting body, fewer evaluators/surveyors will be required.
