Accreditation provides quality and organizational sustainability improvement through external evaluation methodology (Nicklin, Fortune, Van Ostenberg, OConner, & McCauley, 2017).

It is posited that failing to treat mental health problems results in lower productivity and a waste of money in getting treated for other stuff. This case also makes mention that in a RAND study, it was found that mental health services were more price elastic that the demand for ambulatory care services. A board member, and internist, presented another study that appears to contradict the findings from the RAND study.
