I think the committee is so diverse with just the proper number of representatives that we will end up with a well thought out set of standards. I like how Accreditation Canada has acted more like a facilitator for our committee and allowed all of us to run our ideas through the process

5 A Surveyor and Service Provider s Perspective: Eileen Goudy Leveraging Accreditation The value of being part of Accreditation Canada s working group cannot be overstated as we work to better understand the patient experience. Listening to how others have approached this important work has helped me and my organization think about what will work for us. Being part of the group that will influence the standards is an incredible opportunity. We are helping to shape the future of our organizations and ensure that we truly will be patient and family centred. Accreditation has a role to play in advancing the client- and family-centred care agenda Accreditation is a valuable knowledge translation tool Enhanced client - and family-centred care requirements are woven throughout the Qmentum accreditation program, for release in January References Institute for Patient- and Family-Centered (2008).
