About Hospital Accountability
Ontario’s hospitals operate in one of the most demanding healthcare accountability systems in all of Canada. Virtually every aspect of hospitals’ performance is regularly subject to external, independent scrutiny. Hospitals have initiated or played a key role in shaping most of their stringent accountability measures. Some of Ontario transparency efforts include:
- Reviews by the Auditor General of Ontario
- Publicly reporting of patient safety indicators on every hospitals’ website
- Reporting quality measures on a consumer-oriented website, myhospitalcare.ca
- Hospital Service Accountability Agreement (HSAAs)
- Public reporting of wait times through Ontario’s Wait Times Strategy
- Participation in public sector salary disclosure
Embracing the tenets of both the Excellent Care for All Act and the Broader Public Sector Accountability Act, hospitals continue to enhance quality, transparency and accountability in a variety of ways.
