Quality Management
We are committed to making sure that you receive the highest quality of care when you visit any of our hospitals. To ensure that the highest healthcare standards are in place, HHS undergoes routine assessments and evaluations by external organizations in addition to continuous internal reviews. These processes are in place to ensure we are providing the highest level of care, consistent with recognized standards of care and service.

Accreditation
Accreditation Canada, previously the Canadian Council on Health Services Accreditation (CCHSA) is the major national accrediting body for health services organizations across Canada. Accreditation is the process used by organizations like HHS to evaluate and improve the quality of their services. Accreditation also provides recognition that an organization's services are meeting the national standards for quality.
In 2010 Halton Healthcare Services received notification from Accreditation Canada that it had, once again, been awarded full accreditation status.
HHS' Final Accreditation Report 2010.
