The Diagnostic Accreditation Program (DAP) provides accreditation in a formal and independent manner based on established standards to ensure the quality and safety of the facility and/or service is maintained.
The standards are evidence-based and outcome-focused mandatory requirements and best practices that are aligned with the principles of quality. Due to complex or evolving practices, DAP standards sometimes require additional clarification on a particular issue. This is communicated through position statements.
Position statements provide background information and express or clarify the ºÚÁÏÉç’s intent on a particular matter. They serve as guidance in areas where:
- events are evolving or changing rapidly,
- the implementation of processes and procedures may be premature, or
- it is timely to communicate the ºÚÁÏÉç’s broad intent before or as policies and procedures are developed.
The following new or updated position statements are now available on the ºÚÁÏÉç website:
