Alliance for Healthier Communities

Community Health Centres and other members of the Alliance for Healthier Communities are committeed to supporting the health and wellbeing of the people in Ontario who face the most significant barriers, including difficulty accessing health and social care, matierial deprivation, discrimination, and trauma. The people who experience these barriers are our moral owner and we are accountable to them in our work. Each Alliance member organization chooses local priority populations according to their communities demographics and assets.

This document contains technical specifications for the five common Quality Improvement Plan (QIP) indicators that were developed with Alliance members to support meaningful quality improvement in our sector. These indicators were selected by the time-limited Quality Improvement Working Group, approved by the Performance Management Committee (PMC), now known as the Equity, Performance, Improvement, and Change (EPIC) Committee and endorsed by membership of the Alliance for Healthier Communities.

In partnership with the Association of Family Health Teams of Ontario (AFHTO) and the Nurse Practitioner-Led Clinics Association (NPLCA), the Alliance hosted a special Lunch 'n' Learn webinar on in January 2022 to help primary care teams better understand Collaborative Quality Improvement Plans (cQIP) and start planning theirs for 2022/23. Dr. David Kaplan, Chief of Clinical Quality at Ontario Health (Quality), and Mark Robson, Manager of Quality Improvement Integrated Care, Value Based Care, at Ontario Health led the discussion.
