Centerstone Research Institute (CRI), a not-for-profit organization dedicated to improving behavioral healthcare through research and information technology, recently announced that Centerstone received exemplary commendation from the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) International because of its utilization of Enlighten Analytics, a business intelligence tool.

Enlighten Analytics received this recognition as part of the rigorous peer-review CARF accreditation process undertaken by CRI, Centerstone of Tennessee and Centerstone of Indiana.

It captures revenue, cost, productivity and quality outcomes data collected by healthcare providers and reports it in simple-to-interpret charts and graphs. This advanced tool effectively turns massive amounts of complex data into meaningful, actionable information. Enlighten Analytics has helped organizations achieve significant operational and clinical milestones including:

• increases in revenue;
• improvement in treatment plan compliance;
• increases in the average time clinicians are able to spend with patients; and
• Enhanced incorporation of a practice-based evidence approach to treating patients, which allows for highly personalized care.

CARF also recognized CRI for its leading research evaluation methods that demonstrate the quality, effectiveness and efficiency of services provided to Centerstone clients in Tennessee and Indiana.
