The pointers to head to the BRC website, where you can find a paper outlining the Enrollment program.
Absolutely correct in that it can replace the pre-assessment, which was largely an unregulated pre-certification evaluation.
One difference... a site can request their CB come in for a BRC Enrollment right from the start. Once the Enrollment audit is completed, the site is expected to provide a correction action plan (as opposed to corrective actions) within the allotted 28 day period. If at the end of the Enrollment audit, the number of NC's is within the certification grade allowance, and if the site fully closes those NC's within the 28 day period, the audit can be switched by the CB to a full certification audit.
So, with a pre-assessment, you end with a pre-assessment report.
With an Enrollment audit, you can end either with an Enrollment report, or a full certification.
With a certification audit, you can end with full certification, or failing that, move to the Enrollment program.
For sites that are unsure as to whether they are ready for certification, but need to interim measure, the Enrollment program is a low pressure first run.
Anyone having trouble finding the Enrollment program paper on the website, send me an e-mail and I will send it directly to you.
