Quality Assurance Committee /
Comité d'assurance de la qualité

The Quality Assurance Committee develops and administers a major CNO program to assure the quality of practice of the profession and to promote continuing competence among nurses. The College believes that continuous improvement is a key ingredient of quality nursing.

The Quality Assurance (QA) Program has three components: practice review, reflective practice, and the practice setting consultation program. The QA Program, and tools developed to help meet the requirements, enables nurses to highlight their strengths and identify areas that might benefit from improvement. The more knowledgeable and competent nurses are, the better the level of service they can provide to clients.
