Standards Compliance & Survey Success

The F&A cadre of Associates all have decades of hands on experience and proven track records for guiding community and hospital organizations to standards compliance and survey success.  They constitute one of the largest pools of behavioral health consultants who have also worked as surveyors for national agencies like:

• The Joint Commission (TJC)

• Joint Commission Resources (JCR)

• Joint Commission International (JCI)

• Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)

• Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities  (CARF)    

Their special understanding and insight into compliance strategies and survey processes are a rare resource for any organization seeking to achieve or maintain licensure, accreditation and/or certification.

In-Patient Psychiatry Specialist

F&A proudly sponsors the State & Psychiatric Hospital Compliance Collaborative (SPHCC), a unique online information repository providing fast, convenient access to hard to find in-patient psychiatric compliance clarifications, examples, strategies, survey results, surveyor profiles and free Compliance WebNRs.

Our members also benefit from a monthly electronic newsletter (Reading Tips) that ensures busy PI Directors, survey coordinators and leaders can be up to date on critical compliance issues with only 15 minutes of reading each month.  *Note that because of TJC's 'core standards' approach, most (80%) of the compliance information we provide is also relevent to CMHCs and other behavioal health programs as well.
