Quality improvement is an ongoing priority that helps us continually find new and better ways of doing things so that we can enhance care for patients.

In June 2010, the Ontario Government passed the Excellent Care for All Act. This legislation will help support all Ontario hospitals to further improve the quality and safety of care we provide for our patients and their families, and the communities we serve. One of the ways that the Excellent Care for All Act is helping hospitals meet our community’s expectations regarding quality, patient safety and accountability is through the public reporting of Quality Improvement Plans.

Our Quality Improvement Plan (QIP) is one tool that we are using to help us document and review our current performance in a variety of areas. With this plan, we will be able to very clearly see our targeted areas for improvement and chart our progress. The plans provide a meaningful way for us to clearly articulate our accountability to our community, patients and staff.

St. Joseph's QIP is focused on our continued commitment to creating a positive patient experience and delivering high quality health care, which builds on our previous work and development of our hospital Quality Strategy.
