A review process for a hospital at home

Abstract

The field of home health care is the focus of much attention as alternatives to institutionalization are sought. As a result, many types of organizations are now providing home care, health or otherwise, without the guidance of national standards similar to those found in accreditation models for care in an institutional setting. So that stakeholders in New Brunswick can be assured of the quality of the service it provides, the Extra-Mural Hospital has embarked upon the development of a review process which will, to some extent, follow established accreditation models.
