Understanding Accreditation
Accreditation Canada has partnered with healthcare and community service organizations for over six decades to foster advancements in quality and safety. The accreditation journey is a continual path of self-improvement, setting the benchmark for excellence and operational enhancement in the health sector. This rigorous process involves matching healthcare services to national standards of excellence to commend strong practices and identify areas for improvement.
