The Accreditation Lead, Integrated Care Solutions (ICS), provides end-to-end leadership for accreditation preparedness, sustainment and continuous readiness across Transitional Care Units (TCU), At-Home/Community and the Neurological Rehabilitation Institute of Ontario (NRIO).

The role translates Accreditation Canada and Health Standards Organization requirements into coordinated, evidence-based operational practices; leads self‑assessments, gap analysis and corrective action planning; and enables leaders and frontline teams to demonstrate protected, high-quality, person‑ and family‑centred care.

The Lead is the primary accreditation subject‑matter resource for IC be and works across the Clinical Quality, Health Information & Privacy (CQ‑HIP) department, IC be operations, clinical leadership, hospital and community partners, and Accreditation Canada.

The role maintains the integrated accreditation roadmap, governance structure, evidence repository, risk register and executive reporting required to sustain readiness throughout the full accreditation cycle.

KEY ACCOUNTABILITIES

1. Accreditation Strategy, Program Governance and Cycle Management

- Lead the multi-year IC be accreditation preparedness and sustainment program, including the integrated roadmap, master work plan, milestones, dependencies, resource needs and decision log.
- Maintain alignment across TCU,



At-Home/Community and NRIO while recognizing program‑specific standards, care settings, partner requirements and legitimate scope differences.
- Chair or coordinate the IC be Accreditation Committee and related working groups; prepare agendas, decision materials, minutes, action logs and follow‑up communications.
- Provide regular status briefings to CQ‑HIP and IC be leadership, clearly identifying decisions required, emerging risks, overdue actions and mitigation strategies.
- Serve as the principal liaison with Accreditation Canada for program scope, assessment manuals, survey‑cycle requirements, submissions, evidence follow‑up and clarification of standards.

2. Standards Interpretation, Self‑Assessment and Readiness Validation

- Maintain current working knowledge of Accreditation Canada, Health Standards Organization standards, Required Safety Practices (RSPs), high‑priority criteria and applicable regulatory or funder requirements.
- Interpret requirements for IC be programs and convert them into practical assessment tools, evidence expectations, implementation guidance and readiness criteria.
- Design and facilitate structured self‑assessments, leadership reviews, mock tracers, audits and validation sessions with multidisciplinary and frontline participation.




- Calibrate compliance ratings using current‑state practice and objective evidence; challenge unsupported “met” or “not applicable” ratings and document rationale for final determinations.

3. Gap, Risk, CAPA and Action‑Plan Management

- Identify compliance gaps, operational risks and evidence weaknesses; assess priority, impact and level of effort; and upscale material risks promptly.
- Lead development of corrective and preventive action plans (CAPAs), Plans of Correction and program‑level gap action plans with clear owners, milestones, evidence requirements and closure criteria.
- Maintain centralized trackers, dashboards and risk registers; monitor progress, validate closure evidence and report sustained compliance rather than activity completion alone.
- Connect accreditation findings with internal audits, quality improvement plans, incident trends, patient/client experience insights and partner feedback to drive system‑level improvement.
- Coordinate timely responses to Accreditation Canada follow‑up requirements and support preparation of complete, accurate evidence packages.

4. Evidence, Documentation and Information Management

- Govern the IC be accreditation evidence repository in SharePoint, including folder architecture, document naming, version control, evidence indexing, access and retention expectations.
- Define evidence ownership for program and functional‑area leads and provide oversight so collection and maintenance are distributed and sustainable.
- Review policies, procedures, SOPs, education records, audit results, committee records and repo
