What do the grades mean?
Premises that have received an outcome of Pass have met all of the
expectations outlined in the OHP standards and will be scheduled
for a reassessment within five years, earlier if additional procedures
are added or a concern has been identified to the College.
Premises who have received a Pass with Conditions outcome can
remain operational; however, any identified deficiencies must be
corrected to meet the OHP standards. Examples of such deficiencies may include inadequate patient records; additional patient
monitoring may be required; and/or the maintenance of specified
equipment.
Premises that have received an outcome of Fail have posed a definite threat to patient health and safety and must cease performing
the regulated procedures at the premises. Examples may include
a major breach of infection control, non-qualified personnel; and
failure to meet procedural standards. Failed premises are required
to have a successful re-assessment before being allowed to perform
the regulated procedure.

many years, the number of facility assessments is steady at approximately 200 a year. IHFs provide OHIP insured services, including
