Prescott Valley Detox Center Pronghorn Psychiatry Earns Join Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval
Scottsdale, Arizona (PRWEB) October 29, 2016 -- Pronghorn Psychiatry, the leading Prescott Valley detox center and psychiatric hospital, has earned The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval for Behavioral Health Care Accreditation by demonstrating continuous compliance with its performance standards. The Gold Seal of Approval is a symbol of quality that reflects an organization’s commitment to providing safe and effective care.
Pronghorn Psychiatry underwent a rigorous onsite survey as part of the accreditation process. During the review, compliance with behavioral health care standards related to several areas, including care, treatment, and services; environment of care; leadership; and screening procedures for the early detection of imminent harm was evaluated. Onsite observations and interviews also were conducted.
Established in 1969, The Joint Commission’s Behavioral Health Care Accreditation Program currently accredits more than 2,250 organizations for a three-year period. Accredited organizations provide treatment and services within a variety of settings across the care continuum for individuals who have mental health, addiction, eating disorder, intellectual/developmental disability, and/or child-welfare related needs.
“Joint Commission accreditation provides behavioral health care organizations with the processes needed to improve in a variety of areas related to the care of individuals and their families,” said Tracy Griffin Collander, LCSW, executive director, Behavioral Health Care Accreditation Program, The Joint Commission. “We commend Pronghorn Psychiatry for its efforts to elevate the standard of care it provides and to instill confidence in the community it serves.”
