  • Healthcare Management
  • Quality Improvement
  • Organizational Development

Background:

  • Accreditation Canada is shifting from a 3-5 year cycle to continuous assessment.
  • Organizations need to adapt to a culture of continuous readiness.
  • A structured model is required to facilitate this transition.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a practical model supporting a transition to continuous readiness for accreditation.
  • To embed principles of continuous readiness across an organization.
  • To provide an evidence-informed process for ongoing accreditation preparedness.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review.
  • Environmental scan.
  • Organizational needs assessment.
  • Grounded in quality management theory.

Main Results:

  • A continuous readiness model was developed.
  • The model includes supporting infrastructure, tasks, tools, and initiatives.
  • It aims to embed continuous readiness principles organization-wide.

Conclusions:

  • The developed model offers a practical, evidence-informed approach.
  • It supports organizations in achieving and maintaining a state of continuous readiness.
  • This facilitates a seamless transition to continuous assessment programs.
