Quality of Care Dashboard - Summary Indicators

Parkland’s Quality of Care Dashboard functions as a performance scorecard. The dashboard provides a quick visual to show where we are doing well and where we need improvement. Parkland’s department of Quality, Safety and Performance Improvement measures, analyzes and tracks performance metrics for the quality indicators monthly and monitors progress towards quality improvement goals.

While you review the Quality of Care Dashboard, hover over individual indicators for more detailed information regarding that indicator including definitions.
