ACHC Accreditation Workshop
for Home Health and Private Duty
September 16-18, 2013
Laurel Office Park Conference Room
17197 N. Laurel Park Drive, Livonia, Michigan 48152
More and more states are now requiring (or considering) licensing or accreditation status for health care post acute providers to participate in Medicare or other insurance programs. Accreditation is an internationally recognized evaluation process used to assess and improve the quality, efficiency, and effectiveness of health care organizations. Simply put, accreditation is based on the premise that adherence to evidence-based standards will produce higher quality health care services in an increasingly safe environment. It is also a way to publicly recognize that a health care organization has met national quality standards (Pomey, 2005).
This 3-day workshop is a valuable learning event for ACHC home health and private duty-accredited organizations as well as those that are interested to learn ACHC's accreditation standards and process, from application to post survey activities.
Who Should Attend:
Home Health and Private Duty Owners, CEOs, Consultants, Administrators, Directors of Clinical Services/DON’s, Clinical Managers Supervisors, Quality Assurance/Performance Improvement Coordinators, Home Health Field Nurses and Therapists.
