Introducing the Quality Insight measurement and reporting program

"What is the state of health care quality in Saskatchewan? Evidence and examples from elsewhere tell us that to adequately understand the current state of health care quality, assess the impact of improvement efforts, and determine whether we are holding the gains, Saskatchewan needs a program of continuous measurement and reporting. Such a program must also provide health system stakeholders with information on quality in ways that are most useful and meaningful to them. The inaugural Quality Insight report serves as a starting point toward providing this comprehensive picture of the quality of care in Saskatchewan. This first iteration provides baseline information from the 5-year period spanning 2001/02 to 2005/06"
