Highlights

Quality
Quality care should be the cornerstone of our healthcare system: safe, effective, patient-centered, timely, efficient and equitable. Through paradigm shifts, innovation, effective design change, and cooperation between professionals, quality in healthcare can be improved in Canada and throughout the world.

Risk
Risk is inevitable in almost every activity. Knowing how to manage these associated risks is a priority. Theoretical and practical application in communication, teamwork, organizational learning, reporting and analysis of systems are just some of the ways we can manage risk, preventing the normalization of deviance.

Safety
Safety should be of utmost concern in all healthcare institutions. Utilizing innovative and cutting edge practices in change management and healthcare safety, our students will assume leadership roles in their organization, ensuring patient safety mandates are fulfilled.
