NATIONAL ACCREDITATION:

Facts about Quality Check and Quality Reports
The Joint Commission has had a longstanding commitment to provide meaningful information about the comparative performance of accredited organizations to the public. In 1994, The Joint Commission first published organization-specific Performance Reports. In 1996, Quality Check®, a directory of Joint Commission accredited organizations and performance reports, became available online. In 2004, Quality Reports replaced Performance Reports, although historical Performance Reports are still available.
Improvements continued in 2006 and 2007 with a redesign of Quality Check. The process included extensive testing, field surveys, and input from consumer focus groups and stakeholders, including four advisory groups and state hospital associations. The feedback was used to refine and clarify Quality Reports for both healthcare professionals and the public.

PROFESSIONAL MEMBERSHIPS:
For thirty years since its founding in 1978, the National Association of Addiction Treatment Providers (NAATP), which represents nearly 275 not-for-profit and for-profit providers (free standing and hospital based programs, which offer a full continuum of care from outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient rehabilitation regimes), has acted as the voice of private alcoholism and drug dependency treatment programs throughout the U.S. That voice has been heard time and time again in Congress, in the insurance industry, in the utilization review arena and in the chemical dependency treatment field itself.
NAATP has assumed a strong leadership role on behalf of treatment providers in areas such as treatment standards, education, research, and advocacy of legislative, regulatory and reimbursement positions supported by the field.

In 1989, the idea for the American Holistic Health Association came from the boards of two national holistic medical associations. They encourage healthcare physicians and practitioners to incorporate holistic principles into their practices and saw the need for an organization to educate the public on the power of the holistic approach. Suzan Walter and Michael Morton accepted their challenge and established AHHA (that's ah-ha!) to offer free information about health and wellness resources to help you better cope with an illness or disease, or to enhance your health. AHHA's focus is to help you integrate mind, body and spirit in the process. Resources include offerings in both conventional and alternative medicine.

Holistic Health is an empowering approach to living LIFE. It starts with the holistic (whole person) philosophy that recognizes the interrelationship between all aspects of who we are and the world we live in. This is combined with an understanding that achieving health is an ongoing personal journey toward a goal of functioning at our very best level possible.
The cornerstone of holism is the concept that the whole is made up of interdependent parts. As human beings we may think of ourselves as made up of separate parts or aspects, such as physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. Yet, our parts do not function alone, but are constantly interacting. What happens to one will impact all of the other aspects of who we are as individuals. In the same way, we are a part of the world around us, and constantly responding to our surrounding environment.
Holistic health involves our everyday choices and actions as we strive to reach a higher level of personal wellness. Picture the various levels of wellness as a continuum. Where are you? On the left half, dealing with an illness or a chronic condition? In the center, not sick, yet not feeling very peppy? On the right half, in good shape, but striving for the highest possible level of vitality and well-being? A holistic approach to creating wellness includes taking charge of your own health by exploring a variety of life enhancing activities until you discover which ones work for you.
While we think of holistic health in terms of our personal actions for self-improvement, the same holistic principles can be applied to dealing with any disease or chronic condition. When these holistic principles are applied by a healthcare practitioner, it is usually called holistic medicine. In addition to the concepts already mentioned, other factors are added. The healthcare professional and the patient work as partners. Rather than just eliminating or masking symptoms, the symptom is used as a guide to look below the surface for the root cause. Whenever possible treatments are selected that support the body's natural healing system.
