Hospital Report IC 5 Quality Congress
“Improving Continence Care in Complex Continuing Care” , more commonly known as IC 5 , is the first multi-hospital collaborative led by the Hospital Report Research Collaborative. Fifteen IC 5 hospital teams met over 10 months to study, test and improve processes and practices in Continence Care, under the guidance of leading Continence Care and Quality Improvement experts. The results of the collaboration will be presented at the IC 5 Quality Congress in Toronto on November 18, 2005 .
Keynote speaker, Dr. G. Ross Baker, will discuss strategies for accelerating improvement in care. Dr. Gary Teare, Director of Quality Measurement and Analysis for Health Quality Council, will present preliminary findings from the IC 5 evaluation.
The IC 5 Quality Congress brochure can be downloaded from the Hospital Report Research Collaborative website.
Corrections
It's gratifying for those of us putting together this newsletter, to know that you read it quite thoroughly. As a result of your close reading, we are aware of the need to make two corrections to the April/May issue:
In ‘Leadership & Innovation', in our Profile of Alumna Marsha Barnes, we referred incorrectly to Dr. Martin Barkin who, at the time in question, was Deputy Minister of Health, Ontario.
In ‘Bits & Pieces', in the report on staff and students who presented at the COACH conference, we incorrectly referred to Dr. Doina Lupea.
Thanks for your close attention, and apologies for our errors. Keep your comments coming!
