Quality Program
The Quality project has undertaken four concurrent initiatives:
Delphi study – the Quality Team at McMaster University was funded to validate and fine-tune our Quality Tool, this project is well underway, findings being reviewed with an expert Panel (see Delphi Study page on the Quality Website for more information)
Strategic Planning - the Quality Team at McMaster University will, over the course of 2009 , pull together various activities and processes that supports the development of a strategic plan and framework to help advance the Quality programs in Ontario.
Quality in McMaster Family Practice – the Quality Program is underway in McMaster Family Health Team. The FHT is using the Quality tool in academic teaching units, and demonstrating how the Quality in Family Practice can be integrated with the FHT Collaborative Initiative
Quality e-learning Project - the Ontario College of Family Physicians, under the leadership of Jan Kasperski (Principal) and David Price (co-investigator), have received funding for an e-learning Project using the Quality Tool – “Enhancing Competencies in FHT”, which will develop the electronic infrastructure and support to enable the effective use of the tool.
