Quality Improvement Plan
Quality Improvement
is a systematic approach to making changes that lead to better patient outcomes
(health), stronger system performance (care), and enhanced professional
development. Quality Improvement draws on the combined and continuous efforts
of all stakeholders: healthcare professionals, patients and their families,
researchers, planners, and educators, to achieve better and sustained
improvements.
The Quality
Improvement Plan (QIP) is an organization-owned, board approved plan that
establishes a platform for quality improvement. The QIP is aligned with
strategic priorities, Accreditation Canada requirements and service
accountability agreements. The QIP is our guide to achieving quality care by
putting focus on our quality improvement priorities and provides an opportunity
to highlight our commitment to delivering high quality care, creating a
positive patient experience and ensuring we are responsible and accountable to
the public.
Our QIP is shared
annually with Health Quality Ontario and available for collaboration with other
hospitals. Each year the province identifies priority quality indicators which
we incorporate into our QIP. When all hospitals report their annual outcomes,
we can compare our performance on those priority indicators across the sector.
