Continuation of the cooperation of the RS Agency for Certification, Accreditation and Health Care Quality Improvement with the Association XY on the Mental Health Project is realised through activities undertaken to achieve the project goal „Promotion of the Accreditation Process of the Community Mental Health Centres (CMHC) in Republic of Srpska“.
As a part of these activities, external assessment in the accreditation process of CMHC Gradiska was organised on Tuesday July 31, 2012. The assessment was preceded with preparations that the CMHC team with head Ivana Simic MD conducted in high quality and record time. The registered assessors of the Agency, who undergone the training for CMHC accreditation assessors also within the project activities and are employed in CMHC Banja Luka and Srbac, through external assessment on the spot, with the use of standard accreditation methods, verified fulfilment of all necessary conditions.
