CPSO’s Quality Improvement (QI) Partnership program is a single quality oversight program that offers hospital-based physicians the opportunity to complete their QI requirements more efficiently.

More than 45 hospitals across Ontario have already joined the Partnership, which is available to large and community-based hospitals.

Benefits of participating in the QI Partnership program:

• Physicians practicing at partnered institutions will complete their mandated QI requirements for five years, while completing their hospital QI requirements at the same time (hospital-based physicians who are not part of QI Partnerships will be required to complete CPSO’s more intensive QI for Individuals program once every five years or undergo a College assessment).
• Because hospital-based physicians typically have more oversight in their work, partnership-based physicians will only be required to complete two online activities (Practice Profile and Self-Guided Chart Review) to meet their CPSO requirements, spending on average two hours to complete (QI for Individuals takes an average 12 hours).
• Participating in the Partnership program reduces redundancies and saves time by participating in one unified QI program, while also being eligible to earn CPD credits.
• CPSO provides physicians practicing at partnered institutions with access to our online tools designed to promote evidence-based self-reflection, peer support and self-improvement.
• The Partnership’s quality improvement increases value to a physician’s hospital-based practice.
