Being accountable to our patients and community is essential
to maintaining public trust and a national and international reputation
for excellence. At University Health Network, accountability means making
the right clinical and managerial decisions, managing resources efficiently
and measuring our performance against provincial and national benchmarks.
To that end, the Office of Planning and Performance Measurement
(OPPM) provides UHN's seven program groupings with evidence-based data
and analytical expertise to help them plan their services. With the
right data and analysis, UHN could, say, find ways to reduce Emergency
wait times, improve the efficiency of laboratories and lower the rates
of post-operative wound infections and re-admissions.
In the long run, good management of our services and resources
allows us to focus on our primary role of providing patients with the
highest possible standard of care.
