Accountability

Public Reporting

Hotel Dieu Shaver Health and Rehabilitation Centre is committed to providing quality, compassionate care and excellent service to the people we serve.

We believe in transparency and accountability. We believe in the importance of keeping our community informed of our performance. In this section of our web site, you will find up-to-date results on a variety of quality and patient safety measures. We monitor and review these results on a regular basis so that we can make improvements. Click Public Reporting to see our indicators.

In addition, as of April 1, 2011, Hotel Dieu Shaver joined other Ontario public hospitals in making our annual Quality Improvement Plan publicly available. The Plan provides a standardized way for Hotel Dieu Shaver to demonstrate our commitment to public accountability, as well as highlight the things we are doing that will contribute to creating a positive patient experience.

We have set up internal structures that support and enable quality improvement across all parts of the organization.
