MyPractice Reports
What is the purpose of MyPractice Reports?
Ontario Health provides confidential MyPractice reports to physicians and surgeons to aid in quality improvement. These reports provide personalized data and suggested ideas of improvement for physicians and surgeons to support practice and quality improvement across the province. Some examples are the reports for physicians and surgeons working in hospital, primary care or long-term care. For more information about the MyPractice reports, please go to http://www.hqontario.ca/Quality-Improvement/Guides-Tools-and-Practice-Reports.
What data is involved?
MyPractice reports provide cross-sectional, longitudinal, and comparator data relevant to physicians and surgeons. These are personalized data specific to the physician/surgeon and include different aspects of their practice and may include data on a physician’s/surgeon’s prescribing patterns, patients’ demographics, case mix, and other quality metrics. Information may be provided at the practice, regional and/or provincial levels, and no patient-level data are reported.
Ontario Health uses personal health information (PHI) data it collects from a number of different data sources under its authority as a Prescribed Entity under the Personal Health Information Protection Act (PHIPA). The data sources are identified in the publication acknowledgement section. Data is linked and aggregated (i.e. no patient level information) by Ontario Health for the purposes of developing the MyPractice reports.
Your confidential reports will only be provided to you and will not be shared with others, including other agencies or physicians or surgeon groups.
