Accreditation Canada assesses quality in eight dimensions. The graph below shows in which quality dimension the 25 UNMET criteria fit. The percentage of unmet criteria by quality dimension is also shown.

Accreditation Canada’s Required Organizational Practices (ROPs) 
Required Organizational Practices (ROPs) make up part of Accreditation Canada standards and are essential practices that minimize risk and improve patient safety. Examples of ROPs include
Medication reconciliation: This is a comparison of the medications a patient says they are taking with what has been prescribed, comparing what a patient received before hospitalization and the medications prescribed at admission to hospital, or comparing medications given in another hospital with the medications prescribed when transferred to KMHC. The point of all these comparisons is reconciliation to ensure that any differences are intended.
Reporting and disclosure of incidents/accidents: All staff must report any adverse event resulting from the provision of services (accidents) as well as risk situations or near misses (incidents). Accidents reach a client and may or may not have consequences. In the case that consequences are possible, the accident is disclosed to the client. For example, if a patient received a double dose of high blood pressure medication, they would be informed of the event as well as what we will do to ensure no harm results (e.g. taking their blood pressure over a period of time to ensure it does not go too low).
