Cancer Care Ontario is pleased to share two updated Quality Improvement Toolkits. These resources have been developed to support Ontario’s inter-professional, team-based primary care organizations with their annual Quality Improvement Plans (QIPs), which are due to Health Quality Ontario by April 1st. Cancer Screening Quality Improvement Toolkit
- This toolkit has been developed to assist primary care providers in planning, implementing, monitoring and reporting on improvements in colorectal, cervical and breast cancer screening
- Cervical and colorectal cancer screening have been identified as priority indicators for the 2016/2017 QIP cycle
- The toolkit includes: 1) instructions; 2) a measurement, tracking and evaluation tool; and 3) a patient tracking tool
Advance Care Planning Quality Improvement Toolkit
- Family physicians and other primary care providers are ideally positioned to initiate Advance Care Planning (ACP) conversations, and there are numerous benefits to incorporating ACP into primary care practices
- This updated toolkit reinforces its connection to the Health Care Consent Act and ensures alignment with Ontario’s legal landscape
