Quality
At the centre of our mission to continue the healing ministry of Jesus, we are called to provide excellent quality care to the whole person—mind, body and spirit. Delivering safe, quality care and services is fundamental to our work and growth.
Key goals
The quality framework
Engaged with Those We Serve – anchored in our values and our tradition in hospitality, quality and service, we partner with patients, residents and families in a collaborative environment to understand what matters most to them, to be responsive to their needs, and to deliver safe and reliable care.
Organized for Quality and Safety – we understand systems and risks that inform organizational safety culture and address these using clear structures, processes and tools to reduce harm.
Supported by Information - we utilize diverse sources of information to make decisions, measure progress during quality improvements, determine risks to our patients, residents, and families, and drive action.
Accreditation
Covenant Health has met the requirements of the accreditation program and has been awarded the standing of Accredited. The accreditation process is one of the key ways we examine and improve the quality of our services and demonstrate our value to Alberta’s integrated health system.
2022 represents the conclusion of our four-year accreditation cycle and we are proud of the ability of our teams to continue to provide safe and compassionate care throughout the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic. The results remain strong: 97.9% in 2016, and 94.6% in 2017, and 99.1% in 2019, and 94.6% in 2022.
Throughout the cycle, Accreditation Canada has commented on Covenant Health’s focus on quality and person-centered care, and the commendable efforts of our staff, medical staff and volunteers for providing safe, quality and holistic care to our patients, residents and families. When asked for feedback on Covenant Health’s services, patients, residents and families provided positive feedback about the care and services they received and reported feeling informed, supported and engaged in care decisions. These words affirm that we continue to live out our mission and values in the way we care for our patients and residents. Accreditation is an ongoing commitment and we look forward to the 2022-2026 accreditation cycle.
