Correctional Service Canada Health Services Standard – Opportunity for Public Review

The HSO Correctional Service Canada Health Services standard will provide Correctional Service Canada health care teams and leaders with evidence-informed practices that define how they can work collaboratively to deliver high-quality and safe health care that meets the distinct needs of Correctional Service Canada’s diverse population of clients.

This standard is a revision of the HSO 34008:2018 Correctional Service of Canada Health Services standard. The new standard focuses on:
• client-centred care practices that respect clients’ distinct rights and needs, including those of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples, and protect clients’ privacy, dignity, and confidentiality;
• safe, reliable, equitable, and trauma-informed care based on evidence-informed practices;
• a healthy and competent workforce to ensure sustainable, team-based, and integrated care; and
• an organizational culture that is outcome-focused and committed to continuous learning and quality improvement.
