The Simulated Survey helps health service providers assess current organizational practices against Accreditation Canada’s accreditation standards and get ready for their upcoming survey.

Led by an experienced Accreditation Canada surveyor, mock tracers are conducted at various levels of your organization, including leadership, management and point of care, to measure how your processes and systems perform against a set of standards or priority areas pre-selected by you.

The surveyor will identify strengths and opportunities for improvement and present their findings in a debriefing session. Health service providers can also choose to receive a written report with an overview of its performance and additional insight about the accreditation process, quality improvement, and safety. The report will contain recommendations and suggestions that will help you achieve your quality improvement objectives.

1. Requirements Call – A Training & Education Advisor will work with you to understand your needs and determine the focus of the simulated survey

Note: Performing a Simulated Survey does not guarantee that an organization will achieve accreditation or a particular decision level. It is intended as an educational session only.
