The Prairie Mountain Health Authority was due for its 4-year checkup, and it passed with excellent scores.
This Accreditation program, conducted by Q-Mentum runs every 4 years, and this year marks the 3rd review for the Prairie Mountain Health Region.
On-site surveys took place at 49 PMH locations earlier this year, and Accreditation Canada affirmed PMH was successfully meeting 97% of surveyed criteria.
PMH CEO Treena Slate noted that she's impressed by the strong success, but not surprised.
“The survey results reinforce what we know, and what we are so proud of, which is the professionalism of our staff, our accreditation teams, physicians and health partners who are dedicated to providing care to the patients, residents and clients that we serve”
This criterion assesses 23 standards of operations to gauge the quality of Infrastructure and facilities, Care and Services, Leadership, and more.
2 of the major criteria that had room for improvement include medication management and emergency departments, though both still met 85%-88% of the criteria needed.
All of the locations that were reviewed through this survey have been deemed Accredited, marking a high standard of care and service across the region.
