Integrated Quality and Safety Framework

At North York General Hospital (NYGH), providing safe, high quality health care in an environment that encourages learning and innovation is an integral part of our mission, vision values and strategic plan.

NYGH has developed the Integrated Quality and Safety Framework which is grounded in well-established industry standards for quality management and aligned with our mission, providing exceptional health care to diverse communities. The framework establishes what NYGH does to effectively manage quality and safety and it defines six elements of quality and safety management:

  • Patient and Staff Well-Being
  • Quality Improvement
  • Safety for Everyone
  • Enterprise Risk Management
  • Planning
  • Resource Stewardship
