Quality Improvement Plan
Osler is committed to delivering safe, high-quality, people-centred care. One of the ways we demonstrate this commitment is through our annual Quality Improvement Plan (QIP).
This document outlines our key priorities for the coming year, aligning our work with provincial and local health system goals. The QIP is also a legislated requirement under the Excellent Care for All Act (ECFAA), 2010, and consists of:
- an overview of our QIP
