Is your long-term care (LTC) home working to reduce antipsychotic use for residents without a diagnosis of psychosis? Whether you’re just getting started or building on existing work, Healthcare Excellence Canada’s (HEC) Sparking Change in the Appropriate Use of Antipsychotics (AUA) Awards Program is designed to make a meaningful impact in your home.

Here are five resources that offer actionable guidance on topics ranging from workforce retention and equity to patient safety.

Nearly 200 awards have been granted to healthcare teams across Canada that are making measurable progress on supporting and retaining their workforces.

We are pleased to announce that Dr. Gail Tomblin Murphy has recently been elected to the role of Vice Chair on HEC’s Board of Directors.

Canadian Patient Safety Week (CPSW) 2024 has come to a close, and we are thrilled to have had so many of you—from coast to coast to coast—participate in this important campaign. Together, we put a spotlight on the work you do every day to create safety for all. This year, our focus was on broadening our understanding of healthcare harm—what it means, how it happens and who it affects.

The latest issue from Long Term Care Today, Ontario Long Term Care Home Association (OLTCA)’s magazine, highlights how the program helped participants address gaps in the safety and quality of care in LTC, by providing more support to healthcare workers and building capacity to make care more person-centred.

Everyone plays a role in patient safety—leaders, providers, policymakers, patients, and caregivers. Healthcare Excellence Canada recognizes the vital work happening nationwide to ensure safer care.
