Scope:

Note: The ICS code for this NOI (originally published on May 22, 2019) wasupdated by the responsible SDO on April 23, 2024.

This standard specifies the reponsiblities of both administrative and clinical leaders to engage in shared accountability for the quality improvement and integrated delivery of clinical services. The standard would apply to health and social services systems and organizations for the purpose of driving better value based services, patient experience and clinical outcomes.

Project need:

There is an increased recognition among stakeholders about the importance of shared accountability between administrators and clinicians for the quality of clinical service delivery. This standard responds to the need for guidance on how this shared accountability can be established effectively. HSO aims to develop standards that are based on updated evidence and best practices to guide organizations in advancing the delivery of high quality care services within their unique contexts.
