Here Is What The Accreditation Surveyors
Are Saying About NTPRC:

“NTPRC provides quality services to the populations it serves.”
Furthermore, NTPRC has “admirable success rates”
“The
organization is recognized for its excellent outcomes for pain management,
function, and return-to-work measures.”
“Persons served (patients) clearly make measurable progress toward their
predicted outcomes.”
“A
dedicated and committed staff member coordinates the activities for persons
in the interdisciplinary pain and occupational rehabilitation programs.
Each phase of the program has well-defined processes that are goal oriented
to attain optimal outcomes for the person served.”
“The
experience, knowledge, and expertise of the executive leadership and
treatment staff are integral and invaluable to the operations of the
organization. The center’s reputation in the medical rehabilitation
community is well established and has propelled the organization to its
current state of success. A strong commitment to excellence is demonstrated
in the direction of the program.”
“Case

experience and expertise of counselors have allowed persons served to attain
functional results in a shorter time frame.”
“The

persons served to attain the predicted outcomes”
CARF
also praised NTPRC’s innovative electronic (paperless) documentation system,
free patient transportation, strong discharge planning, psychological
assessments, and excellent medical education classes for patients.
CARF
awarded NTPRC the highest level of accreditation that can be awarded to an
organization.
The 2007 AAPM survey noted:
“There are many things to commend about the (pain management) program,
particularly the dedicated staff and excellent clinical care.”
AAPM
also noted “the dedication (NTPRC) has shown for providing quality pain
management. The American Academy of Pain Management is proud to have you on
its roster of pain management programs.”
AAPM
awarded NTPRC full three-year accreditation as an “outpatient comprehensive
multidisciplinary pain program.”
Here is a recent sampling of what NTPRC’s
patients are saying:
“Before I started the pain management classes I didn’t have confidence in
anything concerning my life. I felt that I was useless and life wasn’t
worth living. Things have drastically changed for me, all for the better.
This program has changed my attitude and given me confidence in myself and
my future. Wow, what a turnaround!”
“The
staff and therapists have been a great help to me. They have helped me
realize there is hope and I can be all that I want to be. It helps having
someone to listen to your problems. It has also been helpful being with
other patients that are experiencing similar problems. If it were not for
this program I know that I would not be where I am today. I am out of the
valley now and climbing the mountain, one step at a time!”
“I
believe most people with injuries like mine should come to a program like
this. It has strengthened me and I have been help by its structure more
than any other treatment I have experienced.”
