Quality Standards – why?
• Providing an evidence-based foundation for quality improvement
• Focus on high impact areas for quality improvement
• Tightly linked with implementation support from HQO and other partners to support uptake

• Concise sets of 5-15 strong (“should do”), measurable, evidence-based statements guiding care in a topic area
• Developed in topic areas identified as having high potential for better quality care in Ontario
• Each quality statement accompanied by quality indicator(s)
• Every quality standard will be accompanied by a plain language summary for patients and caregivers
• Strong emphasis on implementation through a variety of vehicles (monitoring/reporting, QBPs, Quality Improvement Plans, etc.)
• Strong emphasis on partnerships to support development and implementation
