health concerns, today announced that they have received their
fifth consecutive 3-year accreditation from the Commission on
Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) with 100%
compliance on all 954 CARF-designated standards. As the highest
honor a care coordination company can receive, CARF’s accreditation
comprises a rigorous peer review of a company’s processes and
services, ensuring they are delivered with the highest quality,
measurability, and accountability. The Columbus Organization’s
accreditation demonstrates perfect adherence to the CARF quality
standards and places the company in the top tier in the nation
according to CARF adminstrators.
Carlos Hernandez, Senior Vice President Care Coordination for
Columbus, commented, “With the ever-present variability in quality
across the industry, this repeated validation of our quality
excellence is an incredible endorsement of our work, passion, and
dedication to the vulnerable populations we serve. It also supports
our ongoing focus on innovative solutions that improve health
outcomes and drive a paradigm shift in care management.”
The CARF auditors noted that throughout the organization,
interviews with staff, families and other stakeholders distinctly
demonstrated a proven and established dedication to excellence in
service. The Columbus Organization continues to leverage this
foundation in quality to develop novel ways to improve efficiency,
value, and health outcomes for a wide array of complex populations
as well as the organizations that support them.
