Kevin Huckshorn & Associates

Kevin Ann Huckshorn & Associates, Inc. brings over 40 years’ experience in the competencies needed to manage hospital or community-based quality driven administrative and clinical services. KAH Associates can provide ground level assessments of your service system to identify strengths and challenges your organization needs to know about. And provide telephonic or onsite help to meet these goals.

The Olmstead Decision (1999) was a ground-breaking federal level decision that forever changed the treatment of persons with serious mental illnesses. Unfortunately, funding was not available for many states to do this work. The United States Department of Justice and the national Protection and Advocacy Organization are now demanding compliance with this federal statute. KAH Associates can provide this kind of consultation to your state or region, having had much experience with implementing these kinds of consent decrees.

According to the Institute of Medicine and the Substance Use and Mental Health Services Administration the goals that Behavioral Health Organizations need to be focused on are services that are Recovery-oriented, Trauma-Informed, Best Practice Based, and that strive to eliminate adverse events. KAH Associates has been doing this work for over 16 years in most of the states in the US and also in New Zealand, Australia, the UK, Canada, and Finland.
