We chose Accreditation Now as an aid for accreditation as a mechanism to aid in quality control and a quick way to orient new staff in the required domains of CARF standards.
The program allows for documentation and comparative performance over time and provides a timely reminder of performance aspects related to CARF but more importantly to ensure quality services to clients.
[We have experienced] more timely paperwork, quality assurance, and over time our ability to tune our services and be more aware of client parent and feedback form referrals.
Accreditation Now represents an investment and (relative to the cost) is a very worthwhile investment for smaller agencies in particular. Their staff is personable, helpful and approachable and turnaround for assistance is very reasonable.

When I was asked to write about my experience with Accreditation Now, I immediately said yes! Accreditation Now has designed software that has made my business run more smoothly, increase revenue, improve productivity, and gain efficiency. It has tremendously changed the way I am able to provide Behavioral Health Services.
As a current CARF Surveyor and CARF Accredited business owner, I utilize the updates, resources, training, and software system to support the daily needs of my staff and clients. I am able to update policies, train staff, and maintain compliancy in multiple areas.

In 2008 we began preparation for our 2009 CARF survey and turned to Accreditation Now. The excellent material and information allowed Southern Ohio Behavioral Health to earn the maximum number of years of accreditation plus three exemplary ratings.
In 2012 we again used Accreditation Now which adequately prepared our agency to earn another three year accreditation. And as we currently prepare for our 2015 CARF survey we once again have turned to Accreditation Now for the type of support and service that will allow us to earn another three year accreditation. I highly recommend Accreditation Now to any agency preparing for a CARF accreditation survey.
