Quality Improvement Plan Navigator

The QIP Navigator gives teams a secure workspace to develop their plans, access historical QIPs, search for QIPs by keywords or indicators through Query QIPs and download previously submitted QIPs.

Quality Improvement Plans

A Quality Improvement Plan (QIP) is an organization-specific plan that outlines annual quality improvement priorities, activities and targets. QIPs:

• align QI work with system-wide quality goals and local priorities
• support organizational accountability and continuous QI
• highlight performance data, targets and improvement strategies
• promote transparency and shared learning across sectors

QIPs are submitted to Ontario Health annually by April 1 through QIP Navigator and published publicly.
