HELP'ing seniors stay mentally well while in hospitalAs a way of being more open and accountable to the public, all Ontario hospitals, including Guelph General Hospital, are reporting their Patient Safety Indicators. Our hospital strongly supports this public reporting system because we believe it will inspire improved performance, enhance patient safety and strengthen the public's confidence in Ontario's hospitals.At the same time, it's important to understand that the reporting of these rates is not the overall solution to reducing the rates of healthcare associated infections.
