About the Quality Healthcare Network

The Quality Healthcare Network (QHN) is a non-profit, member-based organization dedicated to fostering the
development and adoption of best practices by its members through education and shared improvement projects.
Our immediate customer is our members - people and groups from hospitals, home-care agencies, community
care access centres, rehab centres and mental health facilities that might not otherwise have the opportunity to come
together to elevate health system performance through innovative and collaborative means.

The Network is also the Ontario lead of the Safer Healthcare Now! (SHN) campaign, an ambitious pan-Canadian
effort aimed at reducing the number of injuries and deaths related to adverse events, such as infections and
medication incidents.
