At Highland Ridge Hospital, providing the highest quality patient care is our primary goal. With our lengthy accreditation history, we continue to view our JCAHO accreditation as a comprehensive guide and tool for our daily treatment and patient-safety activities.

In August 2005, JCAHO conducted a survey of our facility under the Comprehensive Accreditation Manual for Behavioral Health Care. Upon completion of the survey, JCAHO provided us with Requirements for Improvement, which were designed to assist us in the accreditation process. We appreciate JCAHO’s thorough and timely guidance.

Immediately upon receiving the Requirements for Improvement, we began to address and correct all of JCAHO’s findings. On January 31, 2006, we submitted Evidence of Standards Compliance, which demonstrated that we carefully considered all of the Requirements for Improvement, and initiated processes to correct any past deficiencies and prevent future deficiencies from occurring.

We are proud that on February 14, 2006, we were notified that JCAHO accepted all of our Evidence of Standards Compliance. We look forward to the follow-up survey, which is scheduled to occur in approximately four months.
