Wendy Beattie, Administrator, Region of Peel
- Member Since 2006
“QHN membership has a lot to offer the long term care sector. For example, we are currently trying to create a CQI program for tThe Region of Peel’s five long term care homes and we have sought advice from QHN on many of its tools, educational resources, information on qualifications to hire someone with a quality background, and sent staff to workshops on the Rapid Cycle Improvement process.” To read more of what Wendy has to say about the network, click here.
Larry McBride Corporate Relations Manager Health Care Services 3M Canada Company
- Original Member
"I think collaboration between healthcare and industry is extremely important for both sectors. All good thinking doesn’t happen in one sector. Great thinking goes on in healthcare and great ideas and great models are developed in business. Why should they not share? There is no doubt in my mind that we can learn from each other.” To read more of what Larry has to say about the network, click here.
Dr. Michael Baker, Physician-in-Chief, University Health Network
- Original Member
"Early on when we were paying too little attention to quality and patient safety the Quality Healthcare Network, was formed out of an agreement with five hospitals including UHN’s Princess Margaret Hospital. In 1992 we were pioneers and leaders in this area. Being not only a founding member, but also a consistent member of the Quality Healthcare Network has been important for us, our self-image, and hopefully for our patients as well."
Ben Chan, CEO, Ontario Health Quality Council - Member Since 2007
"QHN has a strong history of linking together people with a passion for quality to share common experiences. Members of the Network have already helped OHQC with some of its QI training activities for family practice teams. Right now we are working together on how to improve data capture in some of the Safer Healthcare Now! interventions. This will both make it easier for QI teams to track their improvements, but also help them address new government-mandated reporting requirements in areas like surgical site infections."
Linda Hunter, Director of Quality & Patient Safety, The Ottawa Hospital – Member Since 1997
“My staff and our quality and patient safety team have learned so much from being members of the Quality Healthcare Network. We have especially benefited from the sharing of information and the discussion of challenges in an open collaborative way. It has been most beneficial and useful in moving our quality plan and quality and patient safety agenda forward.”
Wendy Nicklin, President & CEO, Accreditation Canada – Member Since 1997
“Membership and active participation in the Quality Healthcare Network demonstrates commitment to continuously improving our health care system.”
Michael Heenan, Director Quality Planning & Performance Improvement, St. Joseph’s Healthcare, Hamilton – Member Since 2007
"I communicate with QHN members weekly on everything from: “How are you dealing with wait times?,” to “ How are you dealing with accreditation issues?,” to “Are you employing a certain quality improvement tool and what have been your experiences in implementing that?”...The number one reason that we joined the Quality Healthcare Network was to access brighter minds across the province.”
