Accreditation
Since 2002, the Blood Tribe Department of Health Inc. has been an Accredited Health Facility under the Accreditation Canada (AC) Qmentum program. Participating in the AC Qmentum program involves developing and regulating evidence-informed standards, tools, resources, and guidance for health care and social services organizations in their journey to excellence. Demonstrating accountability for quality health care and services involves a comprehensive four-year cycle accreditation process.
The goal of Accreditation has always been to ensure we meet and exceed acceptable national standard levels of quality care and patient safety and we’ve been successful in meeting these standards since the early 2000’s when Charles Weasel Head, BTDH Board of Director Vice-Chair & Former Chief Executive Officer made the decision to rise to the challenge.
Following Accreditation Canada’s Qmentum program involves a rigorous evaluation process and is one of the most effective ways to consistently examine and improve the quality of our services. Receiving accredited recognition marks a milestone in our organization’s continued journey of excellence. The most recent On-Site Survey Visit held in April 2023 earmarked the 6th Accreditation Cycle and it is with great pride, honour and respect to report that our organization has exceeded the requirements of the Qmentum accreditation program with 13 site locations now Accredited with Commendation. This particular milestone is significant based on the following achievements:
- First time our organization has received Accreditation with Commendation recognition in comparison to previous Accreditation cycles.
- First time a recipient was awarded the Aboriginal Substance Misuse standard for an On-Reserve Community – with a 100% standard result
- First time a series of programs/sites matched a 100% standard result with Governance
