Quality Improvement Plan 21/22
Our Quality Improvement Plan (QIP) is one of the tools we use to track our performance in a selection of high-priority areas, including patient safety, timely access to effective care and building an integrated health system with our community partners. This plan represents our ongoing commitment to achieve and lead in system-wide quality and safety best practices that improve patient experiences and outcomes, and also provides accountability for reaching the highest possible quality and value for health care in Ontario. Each initiative within our 2021/22 QIP has identified a specific target that the improvement team plans to achieve. Targets are chosen based on a number of factors, including best available evidence, how we’ve performed in the past, or how our peers are performing. We strive to identify targets that will motivate our teams and drive our improvement work forward, while being mindful of the common challenges to making change in a healthcare setting. Details about how and why our targets were chosen are outlined within each individual work plan.
Each year, as part of the Excellent Care for All Act (2010) we publicly post our Quality Improvement Plan and submit it to the provincial government so they can track improvement performance across the system. We believe it is important for the many communities we serve across the province to see how we are meeting their needs by delivering excellent care. As a component of each quality improvement plan, teams have outlined how they will engage patients and families in their quality improvement work in 2021/22. If you’d like to provide input into this plan, please contact quality@sunnybrook.ca.
