Vijay Kunaratnam on Reporting and Interpretation of OHT Improvement Indicators

The Health System Performance Network first produced a set of 10 improvement indicators for Ontario Health Teams in January 2021. Over time, we have expanded to include indicators for common target populations (Mental Health, Older Adults, Palliative and End of Life, and Diabetes) and have provided OHTs with population profiles on Collaborative Quality Improvement Indicators). In the fall of 2023, HSPN updated all the indicators for all approved teams up to Cohort 4 (53 teams those with attributed populations). HSPN also conducted a survey of which indicators were most useful to OHTs. HSPN is currently distributing a full set of all indicators, PowerPoint presentations and detailed reporting on a subset of 12 indicators that OHTs identified as most important. Indicators have also been produced stratified by material deprivation, primary care models and population grouping methodologies.
At the January 23, 2024, HSPN monthly Ontario Health Team Webinar, we will review the results of our survey of OHTs regarding which indicators are most useful as well as host a discussion on what other indicators OHTs would find useful. We will review stratifications and how to use the indicator reports. We will also highlight details that OHTs have access to for all 28 indicators according to the 4 main stratifications.
