Accreditation is a commitment by Holland Bloorview to continue delivering excellent care by aligning our quality and safety improvement initiatives with national standards and best practices.
It is a voluntary review process that includes an onsite survey by healthcare experts from Accreditation Canada. Holland Bloorview’s most recent onsite survey was from October 17 to 20, 2021.
Following our last comprehensive review, Accreditation Canada awarded Holland Bloorview accreditation with Exemplary Standing. This is the highest level of accreditation that can be earned. Moreover, Holland Bloorview scored 100 per cent of the over 700 standards against which we were measured. This is Holland Bloorview’s third perfect score in a row, an unprecedented result that no other hospital in Canada has achieved. For more information, please read our website story.
As a continuation of our internationally-recognized partnership with clients and families, Holland Bloorview created the Family Leaders Accreditation Group (FLAG). FLAG, our family engagement partnership model enables clients and families to be full and equal partners in quality improvement initiatives.
Six Accreditation teams, in partnership with family leaders, actively worked on improvement initiatives across the hospital to ensure we comply with or exceed Accreditation Canada’s standards and Required Organizational Practices (ROPs).
Thank you to all clients and families for partnering with Holland Bloorview to improve the quality and safety of care every day.
