PREAMBLE

The mental health and disability services commission has adopted this set of standards to be met by all providers of services to people with mental illness, intellectual disabilities, or developmental disabilities. These standards apply to providers that are not required to be licensed by the department of inspections and appeals. These providers include community mental health centers, mental health services providers, case management providers, supported community living providers, and crisis response providers in accordance with Iowa Code chapter 225C.

The standards serve as the foundation of a performance-based review of those organizations for which the department holds accreditation responsibility, as set forth in Iowa Code chapters 225C and 230A. The mission of accreditation is to assure individuals using the services and the general public of organizational accountability for meeting best practices performance levels, for efficient and effective management, and for the provision of quality services that result in quality outcomes for individuals using the services. The department's intent is to establish standards that are based on the principles of quality improvement and are designed to facilitate the provision of excellent quality services that lead to positive outcomes. The intent of these standards is to make organizations providing services responsible for effecting efficient and effective management and operational systems that enhance the involvement of individuals using the services and to establish a best practices level of performance by which to measure provider organizations.
