What is Spreading Quality Improvement (SQI)?
The SQI Initiative at VCH and PHC is a province wide initiative and a partnership between Vancouver Coastal Health, Providence Health Care, and the Specialist Services Committee (SSC).
The purpose of this initiative is to foster collaborative relationships at the provincial, regional/organizational and local levels resulting in the spread of the quality improvement (QI) work funded by SSC. The goal is to spread successful SSC QI projects for the purpose of accelerating impact and transformation for our health care system within the Institute for Health Care Improvement (IHI) Triple Aim framework.
In September 2020, SSC prioritized spread as a key initiative and provided financial resources and staff to carry this work forward. Key stakeholders in this initiative include facility-based physicians, health authorities, grassroots community and the SSC.
