Quality Improvement

Mind Forward operates with robust quality structures embedded in every program and service stream across the Agency. We are committed to providing the best possible service to all of our stakeholders and continuously look for areas where improvements can be made. Some of the quality mechanisms currently in place include:

  •  CQI (Continuous Quality Improvement): Each of our program and service teams embed quality improvement practices in their daily operation. These are monitored regularly and adjusted for optimal outcomes.
  • Satisfaction Surveys: These are completed annually with all clients, family members (assessing the services provided to their loved ones), caregivers (accessing our services independently from their loved one) and staff.
  • Accreditation: Mind Forward participates in a full Accreditation exercise by an external agency, CCA (Canadian Centre for Accreditation), every three years. In 2017, we were fully accredited with areas of particular strength, including: “Giving Voice to the Invisible Disability”, Governance, Advocacy, Community Connection/Recognition, Data Collection and Quality Improvement, Client-Centered Approach and the unique structure of implementing Officers agency-wide (individuals with areas of particular expertise and knowledge, including risk, accessibility, health equity, staff wellness and many more).
  • Independent Living Audits: Clients participating in our Supported Independent Living program engage in annual audits of their living environments to ensure Health & Safety standards are maintained.
  • Clinical Services Program Audits: Ongoing audits of client files to ensure information is up-to-date and all documentation and assessments have been completed and accurately captured.
  • Health and Safety: Ongoing training and monthly environmental checks on all program spaces.
  • Human Resources and Development: Compliance to standardized training protocols and labour relations analysis.
  • Program Effectiveness: Pre and post surveys are completed for all Day Services and Psychosocial group programs to ensure continuous review of curriculum effectiveness and outcomes. This practice results in ongoing improvements to program offerings to be as beneficial as possible to those participating.

Our Agency has also developed a Quality Improvement Plan (QIP) to ensure all levels of quality initiatives within the Agency are being monitored and assessed on a larger scale.
