Welcome
Welcome to Health Standard Organization's (HSO) E-Store.
Browse the E-Store wide selection of standards classified by language or by service/sector area.
The Qmentum International standards cover key requirements for safety and quality across the continuum of care. There are two types of standards in the Program- the system-wide standards and the service-sector standards.
The system-wide standards are required for most health care organizations and consist of:
- Leadership standards which looks at how the organization’s executive team is planning and evaluating its programs and services
- Governance standards that evaluate the organization’s board of directors or governing body
- Infection Prevention and Control and Medication Management standards which look at how these areas are planned, implemented and evaluated across the organization
The service-sector standards focus on a specific area in the organization such the emergency department or diagnostic services. The list of applicable standards depends on the services provided by the organization.
Standards that are available for purchase through this E-Store are to be considered HSO standards and may not be applicable for assessment purposes at this time. If you are part of an assessment program (such as Qmentum) with one of our partners such as Accreditation Canada, NIAZ, IQG or IQMH your assessment body will provide you with the assessment standard prior to the standard being incorporated into your program and used for surveys or assessment purposes. For information on assessment standards, or to obtain the version specific to your program, please contact your assessment provider.
