4. What does success look like?
Breakthrough in national health policy and alignment on renewed expectations in Canadian healthcare that will put patients at the centre
What will success look like? Why are we doing this and what impact will it have?
Success will be a breakthrough in national health policy and alignment on renewed expectations in Canadian healthcare that will put patients at the centre.
Our intent is to inform and inspire Canadian national and jurisdictional work around quality and patient safety. It is not meant to replace existing good work in this area, but to provide information and support to those jurisdictions that may not yet be as advanced in their Quality and Patient Safety work.
Importantly, as an outcome of this framework, CPSI and HSO are committed to align their future organizational priorities with this framework. This includes the development of future standards, improvement resources, training and assessment programs and working with partners towards achieving improved quality and safe health and social services.
