Quality Management
Quality services is important to us! We are particularly focused on Promoting Positive Outcomes. In addition, we are committed to providing positive customer service to our clients and ensure that our services are of high quality.
Promoting positive outcomes
As noted elsewhere, LifeStance has been recognized for making a positive difference in people's lives. We utilize the Center for Clinical Informatics' ACORN set of tools to provide research-supported feedback from the client to LifeStance. We use this feedback to guide treatment, as well as improve our overall service system.
Certification and Credentialing Standards
LifeStance has been reviewed and credentialed by most health plans in the Metro area. This process includes a review of documentation to ensure it meets national and state standards. LifeStance has been certified by the State of Oregon to provide mental health and substance use services through a rigorous review process for nearly two decades.
Coordination of Care
LifeStance prides itself on coordination of care. Our Quality Management Committee reviews several standards related to coordination of care where allowed by law or authorized by a client.
Access
We review our phone response to ensure calls are answered within an average of 30 seconds from the call. We also regularly review the time from a first call to the first appointment to ensure access to LifeStance services.
Complaints and Critical Incidents
