Wraparound Services of the Hudson Valley’s Corporate Compliance Program encompasses the eight key elements that have been specified as requirements for compliance programs. A fundamental component of Corporate Compliance is education and training. The Agency provides training to all employees and its Board of Directors. Our training program communicates the Agency’s mission, values, compliance expectations, reporting mechanisms and handling of instances of potential noncompliance. The Agency’s Board of Directors and Administration are vested in the implementation, enforcement and oversight of the Agency’s Corporate Compliance Program.
The Agency has an active Quality Improvement and Basic Assurances Committee, with the Agency having received CQL Accreditation from the Council on Quality and Leadership.

In order to meet its quality goals, the Agency continuously collects and analyzes information relating to services to identify trends and patterns where improvement efforts might be helpful to further achieving the Agency’s mission. Through comprehensive program reviews, the Agency develops strategies for improvement which are specific and measurable. Through established committees and collaborative efforts with the individuals, family members, internal program staff and others, the Agency seeks to improve processes, address barriers, and brainstorm regarding opportunities to enhance the Agency’s positive impact on the individuals it serves and its community as a whole.
