CARF Consulting Services

The Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) is renowned worldwide for promoting quality in human services. CARF has been accrediting organizations for over five decades using their Aspire to Excellence standards.

Partnering with Inclusive Pathways ensures your organization will achieve accreditation and establish a reputation for quality and excellence in service delivery. Our offerings include:

Mock Surveys

Onsite evaluations and mock surveys are excellent preparation for a CARF survey. This tailored service can involve:

  • Pre-survey communication and review of non-confidential documents.

  • An orientation meeting.

  • A facility tour.

  • An on-site examination of policies, procedures, clinical forms, administrative and program documents, and client records.

  • Interviews with governance, leadership, funders, staff, and clients.

A comprehensive report with recommendations and consultations will be provided afterward.

Accreditation Prep

Consulting services are particularly valuable in the period leading up to a survey or re-survey. Our team assists in organizing documents and materials for surveyors to access easily, ensuring a smooth and efficient survey process.

Additional services include:

  • Creating new policies and procedures and updating existing documents to maintain relevance and alignment with CARF standards.

  • Identifying and addressing any inconsistencies and redundancies in processes.

  • Conducting quarterly (or more frequent) on-site or remote reviews with written findings provided to managers for integration into training programs.

  • Streamlining the process of gathering and evaluating feedback from clients and staff by designing and conducting surveys, providing a graphical analysis of the data, and generating a comprehensive outcome report.

Post-Accreditation Support

Our team provides ongoing assistance, including regular reviews, updates to policies and procedures, and staff training to maintain your CARF accreditation standards. Stay ahead with tailored support that keeps your organization aligned with the latest requirements, ensuring sustained excellence and readiness for future surveys.

Additional Services Include:

  • Completing the Quality Improvement Plan (QIP) within 90 days of receiving your improvement plan with the help of our team. An effective QIP includes strategies that demonstrate real and ongoing improvements.
