Earning Joint Commission accreditation is one of the most respected milestones in the behavioral health industry – but with close to 1,000 “rules”, it’s also one of the most demanding. For mental health and addiction treatment providers, partnering with an experienced Joint Commission Consultant can dramatically improve the odds of a smooth, successful accreditation.
At Arrow Consulting, we specialize in helping treatment programs across the country prepare for and achieve Joint Commission accreditation. Whether you’re pursuing this recognition for the first time or preparing for a triennial renewal, a Joint Commission Consultant can help you navigate the process with confidence and clarity.
What Does a Joint Commission Consultant Do?
A Joint Commission Consultant provides hands-on support throughout the accreditation process, ensuring your organization is aligned with national standards for safety, quality, and performance improvement. Key services typically include:
- Policy and procedure review and gap assessments
- Preparation meetings and trainings
- Joint Commission resources, including plans and templates
- Environment of care walkthroughs and environmental risk assessment templates
- Performance improvement strategies
- Documentation audit
With regulations and expectations constantly evolving, having a Joint Commission Consultant on your team helps ensure your operations remain compliant and survey-ready at all times.
