Patient Safety
Patient Safety Plan
Deep River and District Health has developed a three-year Patient Safety Plan to ensure we can continue to deliver safe quality care to the people in our care. Our objective is to encourage and promote a culture of patient safety at all levels of the organization. Our plan outlines our priorities and the ways we will respond to patient safety concerns while making system-wide improvements.

Quality Improvement Plan
Deep River and District Health staff and physicians work hard every day to provide all of our patients and residents with the same quality of care they would want for their own families. We continuously monitor a wide range of indicators to measure our success in that area, and to help us learn where more work may still be needed.
Our Quality Improvement Plan (QIP) provides a meaningful way for the organization to clearly demonstrate our accountability to our patients, residents and community. Our QIP is focused on creating a positive patient experience and delivering high quality health care. With this plan, we are able to very clearly see our targeted areas for improvement and chart our progress.
How to Read our Quality Improvement Plan
Our Quality Improvement Plan (QIP) is made up of two parts:
- A document that provides a brief overview of our quality improvement plan, highlighting and listing our organization's top priorities for the year.
- A spreadsheet that includes our improvement targets and initiatives. The spreadsheet includes a core set of indicators that all similar hospitals across the province are working on.
Health Quality Ontario has requested that all hospitals report on a series of core indicators to support province-wide comparisons. The core indicators that apply to our hospital are reflected in our QIP. Not all indicators apply to our organization.
