The SJRH Emergency Department Knowledge Transfer – Continuous Quality Improvement (KT-CQI) committee, chaired by the program lead, is a multidisciplinary team providing patient-centred, ground-up oversight for departmental guideline development, implementation, and evaluation. The committee liases bidirectionally with other programs including Morbidity and Mortality Rounds, QUEST, Patient care & infrastructure, Simulation, and Continuous Professional Development.
Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) represents an ongoing effort to improve patient care in a step by step fashion. The four key elements of CQI are: problem solving, interpersonal skills, teamwork and a quality improvement process.
Regular multidisciplinary KT-CQI meetings are held within the department. Please see the department calendar for the next date and contact the program lead if you are interested in attending.
