Our Quality Priorities

Our Quality Priorities align with a framework consisting of Six Domains of Quality:

SAFE
 Patients and staff are not harmed 

EFFECTIVE
Match science to care and make evidence based decisions

EQUITABLE
Everyone has access to the care they need

 

EFFICIENT
Avoid waste, decrease duplication, rework, or needless movement 

TIMELY
Care is received within an acceptable period of time

PATIENT-CENTRED
Patients are full partners in care

St. Joseph’s Healthcare Hamilton (SJHH) is dedicated to providing the best quality care to our patients in an environment that promotes openness, transparency, accountability and trust. We believe that a strong connection between public reporting of performance information and identifying areas for improvement leads to system-wide benefits and best practices that ultimately enhance delivery of care to our patients.

At SJHH, accountability means managing resources as efficiently as possible and measuring our performance against provincial and national benchmarks. We recognize that effective management of our services and resources allows us to focus on our primary role of providing patients with the highest possible standard of care. Being accountable to our patients and community is essential to maintaining public trust and a reputation for excellence.

Patient Relations – By providing a host of ways in which to engage feedback from patients and families, Patient Relations takes a leading role in fostering a culture of service excellence, safety and promoting organizational improvements.
