Accreditation Canada works with healthcare organizations to help them improve quality, safety, and efficiency to offer patients and families the best possible care and service. 

Accreditation Canada's assessment program emphasizes patient-centred care, health system performance, quality improvement, risk prevention planning, client safety, performance measurement, and governance.

Some PHSA programs and departments are accredited by specialized programs, such as the Diagnostic Accreditation Program. These specific accreditations are managed within the respective PHSA programs.
