Accreditation

The Internal Medicine Database was recognized as a "Leading Practice" by Accreditation Canada.

The award Medicine program gets is a certificate from Accreditation Canada acknowledging the practice as an accepted "leading practice". Being leading practices mean they are acknowledged and now exist online and in Accreditation Canada's database for the world to see and be revered with Dan Roberts as the contact to learn more. The annual Accreditation Canada quality conference is being held in February 2013 where formal acknowledgment of "leading practices" occur. It is likely after that time that the certificate is presented to the medicine program.

• Accreditation Canada Leading Practice - Internal Medicine Database

Also:

• Accreditation Canada Leading Practice - Clinical Redesign Unit. Also mentions here, Regional Medicine Database Program Assisted with implementation of CTU at VGH.

• As per Mary Anne Lynch: the presentation as I understand is held out of town (Ontario or Quebec). The letter originally went to Arlene Wilgosh and I believe that the Medicine program has asked for copies of the certificate as the program also would like to see/have them as well.Trish Ostryzniuk 11:51, 2013 January 7 (EST)
