Only one month to go!

The Accreditation Canada site visit takes place September 18-23, 2016. All staff and physicians are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the basics of making a great first impression. Some  quick visual prep tools are available on VCH Connect in our Getting Ready to Host information.

Preparing to host

The host preparation information provides staff with more details on the types of activities the surveyors will be involved in including:

  • Tips for selecting patient charts for the surveyors to trace
  • Consent forms for patients so they can be informed participants in the tracers
  • Common types of documentation and information resources that surveyors are likely to request during a tracer
  • The role of a site host

“The surveyors have free reign to speak to anyone on the premises in any of our facilities,” says accreditation leader Serena Bertoli-Haley.

“We want to ensure that the surveyors have the best chance to see the good work that our staff do on a daily basis and that the pride in what they do comes out in the discussions during the tracers.”
