The Canadian Council on Health Services Accreditation evaluates an organization
according to national standards of excellence as defined by health care providers across the country
with regards to personnel, supervision, and accountability. Communities served by an accredited
organization can take comfort in knowing the standards and quality of care offered are as good as those offered elsewhere in the country.
Accreditation is an effective, internationally recognized
evaluation process used by many countries worldwide to assess
quality in health care.
Health services organizations achieve accreditation by undergoing
an objective evaluation of the care and quality of services they
provide to clients, and then comparing these findings against a
set of national standards.
Accreditation is an educational process that benefits staff,
improves communication and collaboration, and provides an
organization with access to valuable advice from other health care
professionals. By participating in accreditation, organizations
demonstrate to clients, communities, stakeholders and partners
their commitment to quality.
