Page 3 of 5: Quality Improvement Partnership with the CPSO

Sent on behalf of Dr. Irfan Dhalla, Vice-President Care Experience & Equity, Executive Lead, CPSO QI Partnership

As you know, Unity Health Toronto has entered into a Quality Improvement Partnership with the CPSO. All active staff physicians were offered the opportunity to participate in this program earlier in the year. (We anticipate that new active staff physicians will be offered the opportunity to join on an annual basis.)

Given that the CPSO requires participation in either its QI for Individuals program or a group-based program such as the partnership through Unity Health, there are advantages to our physicians in participating in the partnership.

Most Unity Health physicians who decided not to opt out completed the two required CPSO modules before the September 1 deadline. However, approximately 100 physicians across the organization have not completed the modules.

The CPSO has extended the deadline to October 1 for physicians who have not yet complete the required modules.

Most physicians who completed the two modules reported that it took them less than 90 minutes. This was my personal experience as well.

The CPSO may or may not offer a further extension. If they do not, the CPSO will likely remove physicians who have not completed these modules from the list of physicians who are participating in the QI partnership. These physicians may then be selected for participation in the QI for Individual program by the CPSO.

Therefore, it may be of interest to physicians in your department who have not completed the two modules to do so before October 1. Instructions from the CPSO on how to do so are provided below.

Thanks

Irfan
