Continuous quality improvement in Canadian health care organizations.

A survey of Canadian health care organizations indicates growing interest in the philosophy and methods of continuous quality improvement (CQI). Most organizations are still in the early stages of learning and applying CQI. Although CEOs have been learning about CQI and have been participating in quality councils, they are less involved in using and teaching CQI techniques. Major obstacles reported in developing quality improvement are lack of time, limited resources, lack of training, and pressures to deal with other changes. Only a few organizations question the value of developing quality improvement, and many who have not yet adopted CQI say they intend to do so.

Board evaluation and effectiveness: models, components and perspectives.

Health facility boards are being challenged to increase their effectiveness in the face of the changing health care environment. To this end, accreditation standards require boards to develop methods of evaluating their governing function and performance. During a survey of governance issues, the authors interviewed a group of health service executives with respect to board evaluation at their facilities. The responses yielded insights relating to models and components of evaluation, board missions and policies, mentoring programs and trustee education and orientation.
