Are quality improvement plans perceived to improve the quality of primary care in Ontario? Qualitative study

CONCLUSION: Awareness of and focused attention on the need for high-quality patient care may have increased, but participants expressed that substantial improvements in quality care have yet to be achieved in Ontario. The lack of perceived improvements is likely the result of multifaceted and complex challenges primary care organizations face when trying to improve patient care. To effect positive change, organization- and health system-level efforts are needed to improve measurement capabilities, improve staff and physician engagement, and increase capacity for quality improvement among organizations.PMID:34649902 | DOI:10.46747/cfp.6710759
