Hospital accreditation is strongly encouraged by the Ministry of Health in Ontario and involves an on-site visit by independent assessors who evaluate quality standards against current practices. This allows for opportunities to enhance safe, high-quality care. Accreditation typically requires planning every 2-4 years with the goal of meeting defined required organizational practices (ROPs). We outline an approach of one academic cancer centre in Canada to plan, implement and ensure cancer standards were embedded into practice beyond accreditation.
