Quality Assurance

Goal

The goal of the Quality Management (QM) program is to ensure our clients are receiving appropriate care, that residents of Tehama County have access to services, and that quality is an ongoing process focused on continued improvement.

General Info

The QM program reviews state regulations in order to ensure our programs, policies, and practices are up to date and within the best practices. Additionally, the Behavioral Health Center is reviewed annually by the state and/or its designee for quality assessment purposes. Things reviewed include adherence to regulations, adequacy and accessibility to services, and beneficiary protection, including patients’ rights issues and client satisfaction.

The QM program provides training on the above issues to Behavioral Health Center staff members and solicits feedback on areas needing further improvement. The QM program maintains a Quality Improvement Workplan to ensure commitment to continued improvement. This workplan is updated annually and can be found in Links below.

The QM program welcomes feedback from clients, staff members, agency partners, community members, and partners. The Quality Assurance Manager heads the Quality Improvement Committee, which meets monthly to explore, plan, and implement quality improvement measures for the Behavioral Health Center. If you would like to get more information regarding becoming a member of the Quality Improvement Committee, please contact the Quality Assurance Manager at 530-527-8491 x3702.
