ANNUAL HDGH
QUALITY IMPROVEMENT PLAN 2019-2020 HĂ´tel-Dieu Grace Healthcare (HDGH) is committed to improving the health and well-being of the Windsor-Essex community through the delivery of patient-centered, valued-based care. Our 2019-2020 Quality Improvement Plan(QIP) continues to be driven by our three strategic drivers: Our Patients; Our People; and Our Identity. Our goals and improvement plans for our 2019-2020 QIP were co-developed by staff, and our Patient Family Advisory Council.
HDGH believes strongly that excellence in patient/client care starts with employees working in a safe environment when providing care to patients and clients. The safety of our people is foundational and our Workplace Violence Prevention Program is a foundational element of our efforts. This includes providing education to our patients, clients, families and community about ways we can work together to keep everyone safe and encouraging individuals to report all incidents. Safety upon discharge is paramount in continuing a patient/client’s journey. At HDGH, improving hospital discharge experiences is a vital step in helping our patients and clients lead healthier lives. HDGH partners with patients, families and caregivers to ensure all changes to medications are resolved prior to discharge and increase patients' understanding of their medications. Partner with home care and our community partners to ensure the facilitation of appropriate and timely discharges to an Alternate Level of Care (ALC). Improving hospital discharge experience by making sure patients have the information they need when they leave our sites so they can stay healthy and well. educe re-admission rates for our mental health patients with full case reviews R on all re-admissions. We will ensure gaps in the system are identif ied as they relate to access/intake and discharge to prevent the need to return to acute care. Improve timely access to information to our primary care providers so on patient follow-up, primary care providers have the information they need for continuity of care. Improve early identif ication of palliative care patients and ensure that those with a progressive, life-limiting illness have their palliative care needs identif ied early through a comprehensive and holistic assessment.

HÔTEL-DIEU GRACE HEALTHCARE’S COMMITMENT TO
At Hôtel-Dieu Grace Healthcare (HDGH) patient safety and quality improvements are key strategic priorities. The importance of patient safety is reflected in our vision and strategic plan and is embedded into the job descriptions of everyone employed by the hospital. The HDGH Board of Directors has established a Quality Committee of the Board that ensures that requirements from the Hospital Management Regulation as it relates to quality are met. This committee meets monthly, and reviews patient
safety related indicators and issues as well as oversees the preparation of our annual Quality Improvement Plan (QIP). Our Quality and Patient Safety Plan is designed to improve patient safety, reduce risk and respect the dignity of those we serve by assuring a safe environment. Recognizing that effective medical/ health care error reduction requires an integrated and coordinated approach, the following plan specif ically relates to a systematic
hospital-wide program to minimize physical injury, accidents and undue psychological stress during hospitalization. The organizationwide safety program will include all activities contributing to the maintenance and improvement of patient safety. Over the last few years, HDGH has focused on a number of initiatives that have created positive change for quality and patient safety at HDGH.
Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction and skillful execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives. - William A. Foster -

Our Patient Experience Framework is based on the key dimensions that are measured in our Patient Experience Surveys. Our patients are at the center of all that we do and our focus is on improving access, connections, information and safety. The HDGH Patient Safety Plan, Strategic Indicators and Quality Framework are reviewed routinely to ensure continued alignment to the organization’s vision and mission and continuous commitment to improvement and quality of care.
QUALITY FRAMEWORK To show how quality flows through our organization, HDGH has created the Quality Committee Framework as a visual representation. It serves as the foundation for quality improvement throughout the organization. It is specif ic to each one of our strategic drivers: Our Patients, Our People, and Our Identity.

The Quality Committee Framework Is a series of linked committees that coordinate and provide a connection from the Board of Directors to the frontline staff. At the centre of this framework sits the HDGH Patient & Family Advisory Council (PFAC) because the patient and family are at the centre of everything done at HDGH. It is important that patients and their families have a voice and are involved in direct decision making about their care. Each committee or group around PFAC makes decisions about how quality and safety are executed throughout HDGH. There is continuous monitoring and reporting of metrics through the various committees from frontline to Board of Director level. The HDGH Research and Evaluation Department works with each of the councils and committees with program planning and evaluation as well as knowledge transfer and education opportunities.
