Client Safety Indicators - Health, Safety & Risk
At St. Joseph's Care Group, we are dedicated to delivering safe, high-quality care to every client and resident. One way we demonstrate this commitment is by tracking and publicly sharing key quality indicators (such as infection rates and hand hygiene compliance) that allow our performance to be compared with other health care organizations across Ontario and Canada.
We share this information because we value transparency, accountability, and the trust of our community. By reporting both our achievements and areas for improvement, we aim to show our ongoing efforts to enhance safety and care outcomes.
Data on new hospital-acquired infections at St. Joseph's Hospital are updated on a monthly or quarterly basis. If you have questions or would like to learn more about our performance, please contact Infection Prevention and Control at sjcg.ipac@tbh.net
