(Delray Beach – 2016) Seastone of Delray, a drug rehabilitation and
alcohol treatment center for men, today announced that it has earned The Joint
Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval® for Behavioral Health Care Accreditation
by demonstrating continuous compliance with its performance standards. The Gold
Seal of Approval® is a symbol of quality that reflects an
organization’s commitment to providing safe and effective care.
Seastone of Delray underwent a rigorous on-site survey in December 2015.
During the review, compliance with behavioral healthcare standards related to several
areas, including care, treatment, and services; environment of care; leadership;
and screening procedures for the early detection of imminent harm was evaluated.
On-site observations and interviews also were conducted.
Established in 1969, The Joint Commission’s Behavioral Health Care
Accreditation program currently accredits more than 2,250 organizations for a three-year
period. Accredited organizations provide treatment and services within a
variety of settings across the care continuum for individuals who have mental
health, addiction, eating disorder, intellectual/developmental disability,
and/or child-welfare related needs.
“Joint Commission accreditation provides behavioral healthcare
organizations with the processes needed to improve in a variety of areas
related to the care of individuals and their families,” said Tracy Griffin
Collander, LCSW, executive director, Behavioral Health Care Accreditation program,
The Joint Commission. “We commend Seastone of Delray for its efforts to elevate
the standard of care it provides and to instill confidence in the community it
serves.”
“Seastone of Delray is pleased to receive Behavioral Health Care Accreditation
from The Joint Commission, the premier health care quality improvement and accrediting
body in the nation,” added Seastone’s Clinical Director, Dr. Stephen Heelan. “Staff
from across the organization continue to work together to develop and implement trauma-informed,
gender-responsive approaches and strategies that have the potential to improve
care for those in our community.”
The Joint Commission’s behavioral health care standards are developed in
consultation with healthcare experts and providers, quality improvement measurement
experts, and individuals and their families. The standards are informed by
scientific literature and expert consensus to help organizations measure,
assess and improve performance.
