Quality Improvement
Learn about the initiatives we’re working on to improve patient outcomes, system performance, and professional development.
The Physician Quality Improvement program (PQI) was established to provide physicians with access to advanced training in quality improvement (QI) and equip them to drive meaningful system-wide improvements.
SQI takes physician led improvement projects that have elevated care and supports spread of those innovative ideas to other sites. SQI uses quality improvement methodology to develop toolkits, analyze data and implement sustainable change in an environment of that honours team capacity and culture.
With dozens of online courses and thousands of local Chapters around the world, the IHI Open School can support you and your team in providing quality care.
Accreditation
Accreditation is an ongoing process of evaluation with a quality and safety focus. This process provides an independent third party assessment of our organization using standards created from the latest research and best practices used and validated by organizations around the world.
The evaluation of our services against these standards measures our performance and helps to identify opportunities for improvement. It is helpful to view accreditation as a process that promotes continuous quality improvement and aspire to meet or exceed the standards in our everyday work.

Ethics
Ethics is the discipline that examines who we ought to be and what we ought to do in light of who we say we are. Who we say we are is based on our individual, professional, and societal values. Almost every decision, action, and attitude of ours, personally and professionally, is based on these values. The application of ethics will guide thoughtful decision-making processes grounded in transparency, trust, fairness, equity, and safety.
Interior Health takes its commitment to fostering a culture of ethical awareness and responsibility seriously. We are building the organization’s capacity and providing support to health-care providers in dealing with ethical issues. It is essential that we meet the highest ethical standards when delivering quality health care and providing services to the people we serve.
