Behavioral Health Compliance, Simplified

UPStandards is compliance and accreditation software built specifically for behavioral healthcare programs. It covers operations and compliance across every level of care — inpatient, residential, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, and outpatient — with chart audits, facility rounds, an AI document builder, an annual plans binder, a policy library with gap analysis, and a sign-in kiosk in one place.

UPStandards aligns to The Joint Commission (TJC), CARF, and CMS Conditions of Participation. Standard codes appear throughout the app — for example, EC.02.06.01 for Environment of Care rounds, IC.02.01.01 for infection control, NPSG.15.01.01 for suicide risk screening, EM.02.01.01 for emergency management, and CMS 482.13 for inpatient Patient Rights. Policy gap analysis cross-references your manuals against the standards that apply to your program type.

All five levels of behavioral health care: inpatient (Q15 observation logs, ligature risk rounds, CMS-aligned policy wizards, restraint and seclusion documentation); residential (milieu safety rounds, chart audits across stay phases, annual program plans, risk assessments); partial hospitalization (chart audits, treatment plan reviews, annual program binder, CARF-aligned policy library); intensive outpatient (chart audits, treatment plan compliance, annual standards reviews, policy library); and outpatient (chart audits, annual standards reviews, supervision documentation, policy library).

Yes. UPStandards offers a 14-day free trial with full access to every feature. A credit card is required at signup so your account is ready to continue uninterrupted when the trial ends — but you can cancel anytime, during the trial or after.

Yes — every audit, round, and policy library view is configurable per program. You can toggle individual tasks or checks on and off, adjust risk weights and frequencies, reassign responsible roles, and add your own site-specific items alongside the built-in defaults. Multi-site organizations can enable different items for different sites so each program tracks only what's relevant to it.

The Document Builder generates the documents accreditors most often ask for: Hazard Vulnerability Analyses (HVAs), Workplace Violence Prevention Plans, Environment of Care Risk Assessments, Health & Safety Plans, Emergency Operations Plans, Fall Risk Assessments, Infection Control Risk Assessments, and Ligature Risk Assessments. For inpatient and hospital-based programs, it also produces Restraint and Seclusion summaries, Patient Rights notifications (CMS 482.13), and Search & Contraband reports. Each document is generated in minutes and pre-populated with your organization's data.
