Two community-based initiatives launched by the Alexian Brothers Center for Mental Health (ABCMH) are helping people with mental illnesses enhance their relationships, improve their quality of life, and in some cases, reintegrate into the community. Alexian Brothers Center for Mental Health's day-hospitalization program "has all the intensity of inpatient hospitalization, but clients get to go home and sleep in their own bed" says Scott Burgess (right). He is shown outside the day-hospitalization facility.
Top Quality
In January, Alexian Brothers Center for Mental Health completed a 3 day, 4 reviewer, random, unannounced audit conducted by DHS' Bureau of Licensure and Accreditation and the ASO (Administrative Service Organization). The results validated our comprehensive and effective clinical programming, our strong documentation practices and our dedication to the treatment of those who suffer from a mental illness.
Our solid documentation of services provided resulted in a score that is one of the highest in the state and our "return" amount was less than one half of one percent of our total State annual billings. We continue to strive for the highest quality, compliance and effectiveness to ensure the best services are provided for those we serve.
