The fact that Ontario’s health system did not have one unified notion nor response to quality improvement is the reason Health Quality Ontario convened the System Quality Advisory Committee.
The experts below were asked initially to present a common language and vision of quality – and ultimately for recommendations on how to bring quality to Ontario’s health system.
