- The Office of Health Care Quality will be able to focus on complaints, incidents, emergent quality of care issues instead of routine regulatory reviews of providers.
- Providers will be held to significantly higher quality of scrutiny by external accrediting organizations.
- There will be more focus on clinical and rehabilitation outcomes rather than process.
- There will be an intensive focus on continuous quality improvement that will benefit persons served.
- Important advocacy issues like the ongoing moratorium on the development of affordable housing will be revealed to external surveyors, hopefully, prompting change.
But CBH members must be shaking in their boots at the possibility. Will CBH make another run at promoting mediocrity by opposing an accreditation mandate?
We will see, but all I can do right now is LMAO!
