Ontario General Medicine Quality Improvement Network

GeMQIN provides resources to help members implement change initiatives within their hospital division, and the chance to learn from others across the province.

Specifically, it helps members:

• Use their data to identify opportunities for quality improvement
• Get ideas and strategies to improve care
• Be quality improvement leaders in their hospitals 
• Connect with other general internal medicine physicians, hospitalists, and hospital teams

GeMQIN uses data from GEMINI to create practice reports at the individual physician level (MyPractice), and the hospital level (OurPractice). These personalized, confidential reports inform physicians and hospitals about their clinical care patterns and patient outcomes. Quality indicators focus on length of stay, readmission, in-hospital mortality, advanced imaging, routine bloodwork, and appropriate blood transfusions. Hospital-level reports provide risk-adjusted comparisons for participating hospitals across the network.

Join the GeMQIN community of practice on Quorum to access tools and resources.
