Post-Survey Support for Behavioral Health Accreditation
When the survey team leaves, the real work begins. Whether your organization is accredited by The Joint Commission, ACHC, CARF, CIHQ, COA, or DNV, or certified by CMS, Barrins & Associates delivers the behavioral health accreditation support you need to turn findings into full compliance—fast.
What is Post Survey Support?
Post survey support is the expert assistance a behavioral health organization receives after an accreditation and/or regulatory survey, from The Joint Commission, CMS, ACHC, CARF, CIHQ, COA, or DNV, to interpret survey findings, create a corrective-action roadmap, compile evidence of standards compliance, and coach teams through follow-up so every finding is cleared on time and accreditation, certification, and reimbursement stay intact. In short, behavioral health post survey support turns a complex survey report into a clear, achievable plan for full compliance.
Why Post Survey Support Matters
Survey reports often arrive with short deadlines, technical correction requirements, and the looming threat of payment disruption or program shutdown (see Adverse Decision Webpage).
