Apply by December 10 to join QIIP’s Office Practice Redesign Action Group. QIIP (Quality Improvement and Innovation Partnership) is a non-profit organization funded by the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care, focused on advancing improvement in primary healthcare in Ontario. QIIP is looking for approximately 100 motivated primary healthcare organizations including Family Health Teams (FHT), Community Health Centers (CHC), Nurse Practitioner Lead Clinics (NPLC) and solo or group practices to participate in the newest provincial wide quality improvement initiative by joining the Learning Community. This initiative will focus on Office Practice Redesign, a proactive, planned approach to making changes that improve patient access and office efficiencies. By adopting the principles of Office Practice Redesign, including access and efficiency, practices learn to balance provider supply with service demands, so patients can see their own provider on the day of their choosing and improve access to primary healthcare. The Learning Community provides an exciting and interactive opportunity for primary healthcare providers from across the province to learn and apply quality improvement methodologies and make changes that lead to true improvements. For further information, including important dates, go to http://www.qiip.ca/.
