Yet, few evidence document the integration of POR in academic and health care institutions. A more accurate POR range in health research would improve healthcare systems, yet the availability of standardised accreditation has not been achieved. Emergent documents from academic studies or grey literature from 2012 to 2023, in English or French, will be included. These will include any study, federal and provincial government’s POR programs and regulation, public or private health and academic institution’s POR certification criteria protocols and Health Standards Organization. Following Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) methods and predetermined eligibility), we will perform a qualitative scoping review, searching for health institution’s organizational changes in POR-related ACP in academic peer-reviewed databases and grey literature libraries. Scoping review’s steps are: 1) framing the research question; 2) targeting the documentation; 3) selecting documents by 2 reviewers; 4) charting/extracting data; 5 …
