Rosecrance Behavioral Health announced it has been re-accredited by The Joint Commission during its triennial accreditation survey across its 21 locations in Illinois and Iowa, including offices in Davenport and Moline.
The five-day site visit, conducted from Monday to Thursday, Jan. 12-16, assessed Rosecrance’s compliance with standards related to quality of care, consistency, accountability, and client and staff safety, according to a news release. The Joint Commission is a not-for-profit organization that sets healthcare standards and accredits more than 15,000 U.S. healthcare organizations.
Rosecrance has been accredited since 1984.
The Joint Commission evaluation is voluntary, however, both Iowa and Illinois recognize the organization for healthcare licensing and regulatory oversight. Both states allow the commission’s accreditation to satisfy certain state-level inspection requirements, often referred to as “deeming authority,” Rosecrance said.
Surveyors called the staff “knowledgeable” and “well-versed,” and described the facilities as “welcoming,” “very well maintained,” and “therapeutic and calming spaces.”
“Observations from The Joint Commission are critical to our role as a leader in behavioral health care,” Rosecrance CEO Dave Gomel said in the release. “The thorough process documents what we do well while identifying opportunities to improve. I’m proud of our team and appreciative of the constructive feedback we received.”
Rosecrance served more than 70,000 clients last year and plans to continue expanding services.
