Through the Performance Improvement Fund, CHQI funded five large-scale improvement projects. To be considered for funding, projects had to demonstrate alignment with provincial strategic priorities for improvement, use quality improvement methods to change care delivery, provide clear benefits for the system by articulating the expected returns on investment, and demonstrate how the results would be sustained over the long term.
The five projects funded were:
Improving Continence Care in the Community (IC 3) - McMaster University
Provincial Palliative Care Integration Project - Cancer Care Ontario
Mental Health and Addiction Case Management Collaborative - St. Joseph's Care Group
Integrated Model of Care for Hip Fracture - Total Joint Network
Increasing Organ Donation Rates in Ontario and Incorporating Organ Donation into Routine End-of-Life Care - Trillium Gift-of-Life
