After this session, attendees should be able to:

  1. Identify the steps required to start the process of getting ready for accreditation.
  2. Identify the eight core and applicable adjunct chapters required for accreditation compliance.
  3. Discuss how other schools were able to achieve accreditation.

Program Abstract:
Achieving accreditation is one way to demonstrate compliance with broadly accepted industry standards. This presentation will focus specifically on the core barriers or fears in beginning the process to get ready for accreditation and complying with the standards. It will provide numerous reasons to seek accreditation for all sizes of schools and will present practical information on how to be successful and achieve accreditation in both a merged center (counseling and health clinic) and health clinic alone. Quality and process improvement, essential components of accreditation, will be discussed in detail with examples of exemplary quality improvement studies, and information will be shared on how to succeed with obtaining accreditation.
