Manitoba’s Quality and Learning Framework

Quality, safety and the development of a person-centred culture of care across Manitoba’s health system are at the centre of efforts to increase the use of data and evidence to guide health planning, measurement and evaluation. The creation of a Manitoba Quality and Learning Framework will support and enable the standardization of care through a provincial clinical governance approach across the province. It will also ensure that innovations that could further efforts to improve quality and patient safety, are explored.

The framework has been developed with the input of Manitoba clinical leaders and health-care providers. It adopts leading practices from quality and patient safety legislation and frameworks in operation across the country and ensures their relevance to the delivery of care in Manitoba.

Through partnerships with health authorities, patients and their families, and those working within the health-care system, the framework will support the identification of leading practices, ensure they are locally informed and adapted to meet the needs of Manitoba’s health-care system and will work with our partners and health-care providers across the province to put them in place.
Four guiding principles will inform a coordinated, client-centred and provincial approach to quality. They are: respect for every individual; accountability; value; and continuous improvement and learning.
