Emphasis is on a collaborative, team-based approach to assessment and ongoing treatment, disease management, and education. The goal is better clinical outcomes that reduce hospital readmissions, support activities of daily living, and enhance quality of life for the patient. Accountability is established through documentation of outcome-based measures, with the subsequent expectation of improving consistency of care and quality of life. This distinction must be achieved in combination with ACHC Home/Durable Medical Equipment (HME) Accreditation.

Emphasis is on improved service and responsive care to clients/patients with conditions requiring mobility support, including 24/7 access to support.
