Amana Healthcare, a Mubadala Health partner and one of the Middle East’s leading providers of long-term care, inpatient rehabilitation, and home care services, has received a three-year Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) for its Person-Centered Long-Term Care Community and its Inpatient Rehabilitation Programs - Long Term Acute Care Hospital (Pediatric Specialty Program).
Amana Healthcare Women and Children’s Long Term Care Hospital in Al Ain, a specialized hospital that provides customized rehabilitation and care programs led by western-trained specialists, was awarded the three-year accreditation, which underwent a rigorous peer review process. The facility demonstrated to a team of external surveyors its commitment to offering programs and services that are measurable, accountable, and of the highest quality.
The accreditation report identified no recommendations. This accomplishment is achieved by only three percent of CARF recipients. The facility achieved 100 percent across all benchmarking categories as per the benchmark comparison group internationally for all CARF-accredited organizations. It is now the only Long-Term Care Hospital in the Gulf region to hold the CARF Pediatric Specialty Program accreditation.
Dr. Jason Gray, Senior Director - Clinical Operations, Amana Healthcare, said: “High standards set out the basic principles of Amana Healthcare’s approach to healthcare, and today’s accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) reflects the collective efforts of our team of specialized experts. We are very proud to have received recognition from such a prestigious organization. We are delighted that our quality of care sets us apart and particularly delighted that no further recommendations for improvement were made in the accreditation report – a very rare accomplishment.”
President and CEO of CARF, Brian J Boon, said: “This achievement is an indication of the organization’s dedication and commitment to improving the quality of the lives of the persons served. Services, personnel and documentation clearly indicate an established pattern of conformance to standards.”
CARF is an independent, nonprofit accrediting body whose mission is to promote the quality, value, and optimal outcomes of services through a consultative accreditation process and continuous improvement services that center on enhancing the lives of the persons served. Founded in 1966 as the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities, and now known as CARF International, the accrediting body establishes consumer-focused standards to help organizations measure and improve the quality of their programs and services.
