Quality Care

The Ontario Hospital Association (OHA), its Governance Centre of Excellence (GCE), and Health Quality Ontario (HQO) are pleased to present the Quality and Patient Safety Governance Toolkit, an online resource for hospital boards in Ontario. This unique resource is designed as a set of practical templates and tools organized into these five sections:  

• Describes the Breakthrough Series Collaborative methodology and its application to the long-term care sector.
• Identifies challenges and successful strategies encountered by the LTC Improvement Teams in their quality improvement work. 

What are the social determinants of health? How might they be applied to our everyday lived experiences?

Access to conditions that permit health is shaped by the circumstances in which people are born, grow up, live, work and age, and an array of political, economic, social, cultural and environmental conditions and forces.

The Registered Nurses Association of Ontario (RNAO) believes patient safety is a priority in public accountability for individual nurses, administrators, organizations, professional associations and all levels of government. In striving for excellence and optimal outcomes of care, registered nurses (RNs), as a key link in the health care system, protect and enhance the health of patients/clients whether the client is an individual, family, or community. In so doing, nurses create environments that support patient safety.
