This event is presented by the Alliance for Healthier Communities
This QIP season, the Alliance is introducing a new Common QIP Indicator for our sector: "Number of New Clients/Patients."
This new indicator will replace "Client Involvement in Decisions about their Care," which Ontario Health discontinued in 2025. It was chosen by Alliance members through the EPIC Learning Health System Steering Committee, and their technical specifications were developed in partnership with the Improvers Working Group.
Alliance members are encouraged to make the new indicator a priority in their 2026-27 QIPs. This will support our members in adopting a quality improvement mindset in their efforts to increase primary care access and address attachment challenges in their communities, and it will demonstrate our sector's leadership in addressing the challenges facing our health system. This indicator is aligned with Ontario Health's 2026 priority QIP indicators for 2026-27 and with the broader health system's objective of achieving full attachment to team-based primary care.
Join us as we provide an orientation to the new indicator. We will discuss the technical specifications, how to access the data, and how to manage client data in your EMR to ensure good data quality.
