More About The Joint Commission
PsyCare voluntarily schedules three-day intensive surveys conducted by The Joint Commission every three years. The surveys include close examination of PsyCare policies and procedures pertaining to both clinical and administrative processes. The surveyor closely examines randomly selected patient records to ensure compliance with The Joint Commission standards for safety and quality of care.
The surveyor visits each office to evaluate compliance with safety standards and to interview staff members and clients that voluntarily permit an interview with the surveyor. The Joint Commission also regularly updates its standards to reflect evolving national standards of care. An important aspect of The Joint Commission standards is demonstration of an integrated continuum of care.
This intensive review provides our patients and referral sources assurance of PsyCare’s commitment to the highest-quality care.
