Quality scorecard

To ensure that quality in our group is consistent and is measured across all our units, we have developed a quality scorecard which reflects measurement indicators for both the clinical and care components of our quality. The scorecard measures patient/customer satisfaction, patient health and safety measures, quality management requirements, employee health and safety measures and environmental management measures.

Quality scorecard targets and objectives are reviewed annually to incorporate feedback from customers/patients and their families, trends identified regarding quality risks, and our clinical outcomes improvement objectives.
