What does CARF stand for?

• A. Council for Accreditation of Regulatory Bodies
• B. Center for Assessment of Rehabilitation Funds
• C. Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities
• D. Coalition for Accreditation of Research Facilities

Answer: (C)

The question is about the exact name behind the CARF acronym. CARF stands for Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities. This organization is an international nonprofit that sets standards and surveys health and human services providers—especially in rehabilitation—to help demonstrate quality and accountability. Facilities pursue CARF accreditation to show they meet these established standards and to improve care and outcomes for clients. The other suggested names don’t reflect the real organization’s focus on rehabilitation services and are not the official expansion of CARF.
