TEMPE, Ariz., Aug. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Embark
Behavioral Health, a network of nationwide therapy centers for
adolescents and young adults, is leading the way in reversing the
nation's negative youth mental health trends. With a 25-year legacy
of providing results-driven therapy treatments and programs, Embark
has become one of the first behavioral health organizations in
the United States to undergo and
be awarded the new System-Wide Accreditation and Gold Seal of
Approval® from The Joint Commission.
Though Embark's programs had already earned program-level
accreditation, this rigorous level of accreditation required
additional systemic policies and procedures. In addition, this
system-wide accreditation allows Embark to gain accreditation
faster for future programs the company opens.
"We are extremely thankful to our teammates that always
prioritize our quality of care and who worked so hard to make this
systemic Joint Commission Accreditation happen. Our programs'
standards were already high, and we expect care and safety only to
improve," said Alex Stavros, Chief
Executive Officer of Embark.
As part of the accreditation process, health care professionals
specializing in the behavioral health field visited and conducted a
review of Embark's organizational policies and standards of care.
In addition, they rigorously evaluated Embark's programs and staff
policies and procedures that:
- Provide a safe environment for patient care
- Educate about the risks and options for diagnosis and
treatment
- Protect patient rights, including privacy rights
- Evaluate patient conditions before, during, and after diagnosis
and treatment
- Protect our patients from infectious diseases
- Plan for emergency situations
"This accreditation means that our entire network of inpatient
and outpatient care programs is now under our Joint Commission
Accreditation," added Alex. "More importantly, this shows the Joint
Commission is confident we will apply these same exacting standards
to all new Embark programs as they are developed."
The accreditation achieved through the meticulous approval
process of The Joint Commission shows that Embark prioritizes all
aspects of care and safety for the families they serve.
