Event Description/Learning Objectives: 

In cooperation with the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF), MARO is pleased to announce this one day conference to assist community rehabilitation organizations in preparing for CARF accreditation and exploring other issues in service provision.

CARF Accreditation is a seal of approval

This intensive and dynamic workshop gives participants "hands-on" practice, guided by the trainer, in developing plans and procedures necessary to demonstrate conformance to standards that have been identified as most challenging by the field.
 
Changes in the 2014 Employment and Community Services (ECS) Standards Manual will also be highlighted.
 
Session topics include:
  • An overview of the accreditation process, including an examination of the value of accreditation for organizations, consumers, and the public.  
  • An overview of CARF standards, including the ASPIRE to Excellence® quality framework, which is designed to provide a logical and action-oriented approach to continuous quality improvement.
  • Examples of conformance to the CARF standards, including discussion of the most commonly missed standards.
