Visit www.myhospitalcare.ca reflects the Ontario Hospital Association’s (OHA) commitment to transparency and openness concerning the performance of hospitals and the health care system. The site is designed to make public information about hospitals not only accessible, but useful to prospective and recurring patients, and their families. By making this performance data more easily accessible to the public, the OHA is also helping hospitals become more accountable.
Accreditation
The Middlesex Hospital Alliance (MHA) is accredited by Accreditation Canada, an organization that works with health care facilities to improve quality, safety and efficiency. In November 2021, Accreditation Canada awarded MHA Accreditation with Commendation after a rigorous review involving speaking with staff, reviewing policies and corporate documents, and completing clinical tracers of the patient experience.
Hospital accreditation is defined as “A self-assessment and external peer assessment process used by health care organizations to accurately assess their level of performance in relation to established standards and to implement ways to continuously improve”. Critically, accreditation is not just about standard-setting: there are analytical, counseling and self-improvement dimensions to the process. There are parallel issues in evidence-based medicine, quality assurance and medical ethics, and the reduction of medical error is a key role of the accreditation process. Hospital accreditation is therefore one component in the maintenance of patient safety.
