One of the ways Capital Health is actively seeking to improve on the quality of care we provide is through the Accreditation Canada Qmentum program. Every three years, we invite this independant, not-for-profit organization to assess our continuous improvement of quality care and to ensure that our services are meeting the national standards of quality.
The Accreditation process has been a driving force in our commitment to delivering high quality and safe patient care. 

Accreditation 2010

Capital Health recently completed another successful Accreditation Survey. The scope of the survey was far-reaching. Accreditation Canada sent 11 surveyors  to visit more than 13 Capital Health sites to evaluate both clinical and administrative services against 26 sets of high-quality standards of care. More than 40 teams within Capital Health have been engaged in the Accreditation process over the last two-and-a-half years. Many of these teams had an opportunity during the survey to highlight the contributions they make in achieving Our Promise. The final Accreditation Survey Report 2010 highlights all the great work Capital Health has done over the last three years and the importance of the improvement initiatives we need to focus on in the months ahead. 
Accreditation provides the validation that we are continuing to strive toward the vision of Our Promise - to be a world-leading haven of people-centred health, healing and learning.
