CGHA partnered with the Amano Rehabilitation Hospital as the hospital seeked to earn Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) accreditation.
The project was a success; the Amano Rehabilitation Hospital is the first hospital in Japan to be accredited.
Partnering to Achieve CARF Accreditation
CARF (Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities) accreditation signals a service provider’s commitment to continually improving services, encouraging feedback, and serving the community.
The Amano Rehabilitation Hospital project was an interactive relationship established with CGHA to assist the leadership of the hospital in earning accreditation for CARF. CGHA assisted them in preparing for an on-site visit from the CARF committee – a group of individuals who review organizations seeking accreditation. CGHA reviewed their documentation and discussed ideas with them – a partnership which led to their successful accreditation.
Third-party payers, governmental agencies, and the public at-large recognize CARF accreditation as a demonstration of accountability and conformance to internationally accepted standards that promote excellence in services.
