Overview
Welcome to the Canadian Society of Nephrology's Quality Improvement and Implementation Science (CSN-QUIS) Committee webpage.
The major purpose of the CSN Quality Improvement and Implementation Science (CSN-QUIS) committee is the promotion of quality assurance (i.e., achievement of performance indicators) and quality improvement (i.e., ongoing activities to improve care) within all aspects of nephrology practice in Canada.
This includes three broad goals:
1. To establish and monitor key nephrology performance indicators (i.e., quality assurance)
2. To educate and act as a resource for nephrology healthcare providers on quality improvement methods
3. To increase the number of quality improvement initiatives being done in nephrology and spread best practices
QI Repository
The CSN-QUIS Quality Improvement Repository is a compilation of QI related projects from across Canada that is continually updated.
The repository will include a comprehensive list of projects from all levels of completion and spans the full spectrum of nephrology.
The repository will be accessible to both members and non-members of the CSN, and will allow users to submit projects for upload directly from the website using a simple process.
This resource aims to allow for increased awareness on the QI projects being done in Canada, reduce project redundancy, and foster collaboration across sites and provinces.
