We’ve officially wrapped up year one of the four-year provincial sequential Accreditation model—an important milestone behind us! A heartfelt THANK YOU to all staff who contributed by participating in meetings and tracers. Your hospitality, professionalism, and kindness made a lasting impression on the surveyors at all the sites they visited.

While the full report will be available later this fall, here are some highlights from the survey.

Strengths Recognized by Surveyors:

• People-Centred Care
• Cultural Awareness and Support
• Patient Safety Incident Reporting
• Data-Informed Decision Making

Key Opportunities for Growth:

• Advancing the Electronic Health Record
• Improving Provincial Standardization
• Strengthening Environmental Stewardship
• Addressing Aging Infrastructure

What’s Next?
Looking ahead, Accreditation Canada surveyors will return in May 2026 to assess several acute care standards, along with Infection Prevention & Control and Medication Management. Preparation is underway to ensure that teams and sites have the support and resources they need for continued success.
