Summary of Responses - Facility Acreditation

Summary of Responses - Facility Acreditation

JIM Marshall

Thank you to all of those who responded to my post seeking information on support resources for achieving facility accreditation.  Many of the respondents recommended a Policy and Procedure Manual and Guide offered by OPGA.  One consultant responded directly offering their services and I was referred to two other third party consultants that assisted other practices achieve accreditation.  Two respondents developed their own policies and procedures and navigated successfully through the accreditation process on their own.  Those respondents both offered to share their experience and insight about the process.

I am now in the process of obtaining information from OPGA and contacting the third party consultants to evaluate which route to take based on timeline, success rate and cost.  I will submit another post when I make a decision and launch the process.

Thank You,

Jim Marshall, O&P Practice Owner
