What is Accreditation?

Accreditation is certification by a recognized body as meeting a certain set of standards. It is a formal assessment conducted by outside expertise that health service organizations use to evaluate and improve the quality and safety of their services. Accreditation identifies what our organization is doing well and what needs to be improved.

Southern Health-Santé Sud will now be involved in the provincial sequential survey model
