Accreditation update: What the heck is an ROP anyway?

 

Submitted by Jennifer Vornbrock, Director, Strategy Deployment, Vancouver

An ROP — Required Organizational Practice — is a practice Accreditation Canada considers critical to the delivery of safe, high-quality service. Surveyors will be paying close attention to these practices — including ethics — when they evaluate VCH sites and services in November.

Monica Redekopp: “Ethics is a passion of mine and one of the critically important areas Accreditation Canada considers.”
