Accreditation

NL Health Services is committed to continually improving our services. 

Accreditation is one of the best ways to regularly assess and ensure we are providing the highest quality of care for people and communities. Accreditation Canada’s (AC) programs assess organizations against standards developed by Health Standards Organization (HSO), International Standards Organization (ISO) and others. 

NL Health Services works with external peer surveyors from AC to prepare for regular reviews. These reviews examine our services, policies, procedures, facilities and leadership. Our participation in the Qmentum Global™ for Canadian Accreditation program is voluntary, enabling us to evaluate our performance against standards of excellence and identify opportunities to improve care and services. 

In 2025, NL Health Services will begin a four-year sequential accreditation cycle. AC surveyors visit our sites across the province each year to review selected programs and services.
