Public Reviews

Public Reviews bring the voices of those who will use and benefit from the standard into the standards development process and play a key role in ensuring our standards are people-centred, evidence-based, relevant, and responsive to current and future needs.

Public Reviews typically last 60 days. During this time, the following individuals with lived experience and expertise are invited to provide their input by reviewing the draft standard prepared for public review and answering a short questionnaire:

  • People who are currently accessing health and social services in a particular area or have recently done so, and people supporting them in their care.
  • People working in health and social service organizations.
  • People working in government ministry, department, or agency (health or otherwise) or in a health organization that works at arm’s length from government, such as a health quality council or association.
  • People with subject-matter expertise working in applied research, academia, or the private sector.

Help shape the future of safer care and a healthier world. We invite you to participate in our public review process.
