Progress Reports
As an extra-departmental unit (EDU) of the University of Toronto, Faculty of Medicine, CQuIPS has engaged in both a five-year and a ten-year standard external review process. Both reviews were extremely positive demonstrating the exceptional progress of the Centre. Over its first 10 years, CQuIPS demonstrated phenomenal productivity in terms of the number and diversity of QI trained health professionals from multiple disciplines and scholarly output. The Centre has moved beyond the proof of concept phase since its value has been clearly established in terms of contributing to continuing professional development in quality and safety along the continuum of health professions education.
2-year Strategic Plan Update (2020-2022)
A changed world indeed. In 2020, the events of the early phase of the COVID-19 pandemic shared the strategic areas of focus that we set as priorities for CQuIPS. Our two areas of thematic focus, namely equity and health system resilience, seem even more prescient as our health system turns its attention towards pandemic recovery.
10-Year External Review (2017)
“Over the past 10 years, CQuIPS has demonstrated phenomenal productivity in terms of the number and diversity of QI trained professionals and scholarly output. The centre has moved beyond the proof of concept phase since its value has been clearly established in terms of contributing to continuing professional development in quality and safety along the continuum of health professions education.”
5-Year External Review (2013)
“The Centre has developed high quality and important educational programs that make the University of Toronto a clear leader nationally and clearly recognized internationally. It is clear that the Centre has exceeded its education mandate in the first five years of its existence.”
3-Year Progress Report (2013)
“Individuals who set in motion the planning that culminated in the Centre’s creation… envisioned the Centre providing leadership in patient safety education, complemented by research programs and collaborative networks within the Toronto Academic Health Science Network (TAHSN) and the broader healthcare system. In a mature state, the Centre would contribute to improved patient outcomes by promoting education among a broad range of practitioners, developing interventions that reduce or mitigate patient safety problems, and promoting the translation of such knowledge into routine practice.”
Inaugural report (2010)
“The Centre for Patient Safety will provide leadership in patient safety education complemented by research programs and collaborative networks within the Toronto Academic Health Science Network (TAHSN) and the broader healthcare system.”
