Providing quality of service and safe care to patients is an important priority at Muskoka Algonquin Healthcare’s (MAHC) hospital sites. A Quality Improvement Plan is an essential tool that is developed annually and sets safety and quality targets for the organization to achieve.
“The 2016-17 Quality Improvement Plan will focus on delivering high-quality health care and creating a positive patient experience while strengthening our focus on access to care, safety and integration,” says Chief Quality & Nursing Executive Karen Fleming. “We want to ensure the 2016-17 plan reflects what is important to the patients and families we serve in our communities.”
Fleming invites members of the public who are interested in quality improvement at MAHC to register to participate in a Community Focus Group scheduled on Tuesday, January 26, 2016, from 1 to 3:30 p.m. (location still to be determined). Please contact Christine Loshaw at 705-645-4404, ext. 3104 or email [email protected] to sign up.
“We continue to explore new ways to provide care in order to meet our patients’ expectations and improve their hospital experience through safe and high-quality care,” Fleming says. “Directly involving those we serve in the creation of the plan is the best way to reflect what’s important to them. I look forward to a fulsome conversation with our community about the contents of this important tool.”
All public hospitals in Ontario are required to develop and follow a Quality Improvement Plan. Please visit the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care website for more information about Quality Improvement Plans.\
