Does CARF International offer more than just accreditation?
Publications The CARF family of organizations publishes standards manuals that correspond to the fields served by the areas eligible for accreditation. Individuals in those fields develop the standards with the input of persons served, professionals, purchasers, providers of services, and other interested parties. The standards manuals are updated annually or as necessary to ensure that they reflect current, practical, and relevant standards for quality. CARF also offers many other publications to help your organization’s efforts in providing programs and services focused on quality. Education Seminars and conferences are an excellent way for your organization to receive information about the application of the accreditation standards, the survey process, and our policies and procedures. If your organization is preparing for a survey for the first time, it is helpful to send key staff members to an educational event offered in cities throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe.
