About Golden Path Healthcare Accreditation Solutions

Who We Are

GPHA provides comprehensive accreditation consulting services for inpatient psychiatric hospitals, behavioral health organizations, home care agencies, hospice programs, and nursing care facilities. Our team of Former Joint Commission Standards & Interpretation experts with over 30 years of combined experience use insider knowledge to deliver results for clients.

We provide tailored mock surveys, gap analyses, policy and corrective action plan (CAP) development, staff training, RCA facilitation, and EHR/documentation readiness support designed to reduce survey citations, shorten time-to-accreditation, and strengthen patient safety.

By combining regulatory insight with hands-on implementation, we help your teams work smarter (not harder), present compelling evidence to surveyors, and build sustainable systems that keep compliance predictable and without stress. 

Contact us for a complimentary readiness consultation and a clear plan to move your organization from vulnerability to successful accreditation.

We don’t just prepare you for accreditation; we equip you with clarity, confidence, and strategies to excel beyond it.

Our Approach

At GPHA, we are dedicated to providing a clear and assured path to Joint Commission Accreditation and compliance. Our approach focuses on life cycle engagement, collaboration, comprehensive support, sustainable solutions, and proactive risk management. Our whole life cycle solution approach includes:

  • Problem/Goal Definition: We begin by listening to the provider, identifying the problem or objective, and designing an appropriate solution.
  • Requirements Clarification: We translate complex Joint Commission standards into actionable policies and procedures.
  • Readiness Assessment: We conduct mock surveys and gap analyses to identify risks prior to your official review.
  • Documentation Strengthening: We refine and organize clinical and administrative records to meet or exceed compliance expectations.
  • Competency Development: We design and deliver custom training programs to ensure your teams are always survey-ready.
  • Plan & Correct: We develop targeted corrective-action strategies to promptly address deficiencies.

  • Collaboration

    We work closely with your leaders and frontline staff to develop practical compliance solutions that integrate seamlessly into daily operations, rather than just adhering to policies.

    Sustainable Solutions

    We assist you in moving beyond last-minute survey preparations towards a culture of continuous improvement. Employing proven models such as the Knowledge-to-Action (KTA) Framework and PDSA cycles, we embed best practices that promote long-term performance and safety.

    Proactive Risk Management:

    We help you identify and resolve potential issues before they become citations and turn any complaint into an opportunity for growth.
