Our Results

We regularly conducts assessments externally and internally. External assessments and audits include compliance with the Council on Accreditation, APS  Healthcare (92% on our audit), DBHDD (94% on our audit), GA’s Office of Regulatory Services, GA’s Office of Policy, Procedure, Utilization and Management, and CK’s primary stakeholders: clients. External assessments are designed to ensure adherence to best practices, legal standards, ethical norms, monitor results and comprehensively evaluate organizational performance as it relates to the mission. Results from these assessments are used in the strategic planning process to ensure that programming is best suited/aligned to carry-out the mission and improvements are made in areas that are not effectively accomplishing goals or objectives.
