Accreditation Canada is an external, internationally recognized organisation that evaluates the quality of care and services provided by Canadian care organisations and institutions based on standards of excellence. It is an efficient tool, available to organisations and institutions, to examine and improve the quality of the health care and services offered and the safety of users. Accreditation Canada establishes the norms and standards that the organisations and institutions must respect or seek to achieve.
The results and recommendations originating from the organisations and institutions are published in reports accessible to the public.
