Existing facilities

The NHMSFAP awards accreditation to facilities for a period of up to five years.

Existing facilities must undergo a reaccreditation assessment at four years and correct any non-conformances to ensure compliance with standards before the award expires.

Clinical trials

Clinical research in non-hospital facilities may only be conducted under a properly constituted clinical trial with research ethics board oversight.

A medical director must provide written notice to the NHMSFAP Committee in the specified form at least 90 days prior to permitting a facility to conduct or participate in a clinical trial.
