Notices of Intent

HSO’s world-class standards are co-created through our rigourous standard development process. We are committed to being open and transparent throughout the standard development process to ensure we are listening to all voices to link data, decisions and practices to better health. Once our Technical Committees members have been confirmed and the project proposal is finalized, HSO will post a Notice of Intent for any new standard, new edition, adoption, revision, reaffirmation, or withdrawal for 15 days. We encourage comments and feedback from interested stakeholders and patients.
