Use of Evidence, Quality Standards• HQO to ‘promote health care that is supported by the
best available scientific evidence’
• Addressing unwarranted variations in practice
• Quality standards - filling a gap in Ontario’s existing health care quality infrastructure
• Providing an evidence-based platform for prioritized quality improvement and offer a means to measure success across the continuum of care
• Concise sets of 5-15 strong (“should do”), measurable, evidence-based statements guiding care in a topic area

How Quality Standards Can Be Used• Patients, caregivers and the public can use Quality Standards to
understand what excellent care looks like and what they should expect from their health care providers
• Health care professionals can use Quality Standards to evaluate their practice, identify areas for personal and organizational quality improvement and incorporate them into professional education
• Provider organizations can use Quality Standards to audit their quality of care, identify gaps, guide organizational improvement strategies and inform clinical program investments
• LHINs and disease agencies can use Quality Standards to inform regional improvement strategies and monitor the care provided by health service providers
• Government can use Quality Standards to identify provincial priority areas, inform new data collection and reporting initiatives, and design performance indicators and funding incentives
Involving Patients & Families
www.HQOntario.ca
Quality Improvement
• Annual public commitment to quality improvement goals through Quality Improvement Plans– 1076 Organizations – Acute, LTC, CCAC, and Primary Care– Increased emphasis on involving patients – Act on the plans, more about progress
• Large scale efforts to improve quality• Building capacity and support for improvement
– Organizations making investments in teams, structures and process to support QI
– Training in QI through programs such as – Connecting the community
• Leadership
www.HQOntario.ca
What is a Quality Improvement Plan (QIP)
• All health care organizations are required to submit a quality improvement plan to HQO every year (April 1)
• “All” means:– Hospitals– Long term care homes– Organized primary care (i.e. Family Health Teams)– Community Care Access Centres
www.HQOntario.ca
Intent of Quality Improvement Plan• An organization’s annual articulation of their goals to improve quality in the
coming fiscal year. – 1076 Organizations – Acute, LTC, CCAC, and Primary Care– Increased emphasis on involving patients – Act on the plans, more about progress
• Includes:– Report on progress from the previous year (2014/15)– Identification of priorities, targets, and change ideas that will be pursued– Narrative description– Plan is posted publicly on organization’s website, and also on HQO website
• Board approves plan, and provides oversight on progress throughout the year
• Ideally, links well with the SAA’s that LHINs utilize to hold organizations accountable
• Important opportunity to address system quality challenges from a cross sector perspective. i.e. ED visits for LTC patients and ED Wait Times (hospitals), integration of care

Provincial integration and collaboration (as cited in QIP narratives)
www.HQOntario.ca
Collaboration within each sector
Transparency: All QIPs are publicly accessible
www.HQOntario.ca
QIP 15/16 query• ALC improvement plans in WW QIPs
www.HQOntario.ca
We have chosen not to include it on our QIP and are working within our LHIN.Pilot and implement a standard tool and visual tracking by patient , daily discharge monitoring process in all units; extend discharge planning resources from 5 days a week to 7 days a week - improve involvement of CCAC in discharge planning. Update policies regarding bed utilization.
Standardize workflows.Educate staff on information management principles and importance of correct data entry. Track volume and work effort for manual wait time information system corrections.Sustain expedited discharge processes and reviews within clinical programs. Sustain weekly alternate level of care rounds. Sustain senior leadership and management collaborative meetings.Using the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) process through a LEAN approach, discharge planning processes will be reviewed in conjuction with CCAC and the Family Health Teams. Changes will be implemented based on project findings.

ALC requires cross collaboration
• Organizations that reported progress in percent of alternate level of care (ALC) days included the following change ideas:– Following best practice rehabilitation care
pathways, especially for hip and knee replacements, hip fractures and stroke
– Using prediction models to estimate time of discharge, improving timing of decision making, and putting services in place to reduce the risk of functional decline that can lead to a patient being designated as ALC

Some Final Thoughts• Understand experience, engage patient and
public in designing the improvements in areas that matter to them
• Shift our focus from silos to systems– Keep the momentum going on your common areas of focus for QIP
by Sub-LHIN area
• Support development of knowledge and capacity for QI– QI the new epi?
• Need the space to innovate and engage teams creatively in improvement AND..celebrate success
